Top seed Aryna Sabalenka has moved a step closer to retaining her Brisbane International title and will play 11th seed Karolina Muchova in the semi-finals. This marks their fifth career meeting. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Sabalenka is two wins away from being crowned champion once again and starting the new season with a title. The world number one has only lost once in this event since making her debut two seasons ago.

Sabalenka, who won the very first meeting with Muchova back in 2019, has steamrolled her way to the last four. She hasn’t lost more than six games in any of the three matches she has played.

To advance to the semis, the four-time major winner defeated fifth seed Madison Keys.

Karolina Muchova has a head-to-head advantage over Sabalenka. She is one of the few players actively playing who can boast of this.

The Czech athlete has won the last three matchups with the WTA’s top player, with two of those duels being semi-final showdowns. With this record, Muchova, a six-time tour finalist, will be confident of making it to the championship match.

The 29-year-old is coming off a strong display of tenacity against former Brisbane champion Elena Rybakina. She won their quarter-final showdown in three sets and is now up to 19th in the live ranking.
