Fourth seed Anna Bondar continues her quest for another title in Hamburg, facing qualifier Elina Avanesyan in the semi-finals. This marks their third career meeting and second on a clay court. As two players in good form meet, this prediction backs the match to need a decider.

Avanesyan was granted a walkover in the quarter-finals after top seed Oleksandra Oliynykova withdrew due to injury. The Armenian has been in fine form this week and on clay this term.

The walkover pushes her even closer to the title. Avanesyan, who has won four straight matches, defeated seventh seed Yulia Putintseva in her last match.

Qualifying for her first semi-final on tour this season has catapulted Avanesyan a massive 62 places in the live ranking to 142nd.

Anna Bondar lost on a clay surface to Avanesyan when they last met. That was in Budapest three years ago. Though she had won their first-ever meeting a year prior, she will be wary of the threat her much-rested opponent poses.

Bondar is seeking a second title in Hamburg. She was crowned champion two years ago when the tournament was categorized as a 125 event.

When the event returned to the tour schedule last year, the Hungarian made it to the final. To move closer to another appearance in the final, Bondar, who is up to 87th in the live ranking, defeated Alina Charaeva in straight sets.
