Top seed Aryna Sabalenka faces her first seeded opponent in this year's Wimbledon Championships. The world number on takes on 24th seed Elise Mertens in this quarter-final. Here's our match prediction.
Whoever does win this match will face an unseeded opponent in the last four. That'll be either Laura Siegemund or lucky loser Solana Sierra.
Sabalenka has yet to drop a set in this tournament. Wins have been achieved against Carson Branstine, Marie Bouzkova and on Friday evening, Emma Raducanu. A win for the 27-year-old will see the top seed play in her third successive Wimbledon semi-final but she's yet to reach the title decider..
Elise Mertens has only won two of her 12 previous matches against Sabalenka. The one match they had on grass was seven years ago and Sabalenka won that in three sets. Mertens is in the fourth round here for the third time. It's five years since she reached a Grand Slam quarter-final.
The 29-year-old won the grass court Libema Open last month. This tournament has seen her beat Linda Fruhvirtova, Ann Li and Elina Svitolina (who recently beat her in Bad Homburg) with only Li taking a set off her.
We tip Sabalenka to win this match in straight sets.
