Top seed Elina Svitolina squares off with the unseeded Sonay Kartal in the quarter-finals in Auckland. She won their only other meeting, and another win will see her set up a semi-final showdown with Iva Jovic or Sofia Costoulas. Read on to find our prediction for this match. 

Elina Svitolina has been in terrific form at the ASB Classic and has flexed her credentials of claiming this week’s title. The Ukrainian has yet to lose a set through two rounds. 

She defeated Varvara Gracheva in the first round and then Katie Boulter to make it to the last eight. Up to 12th in the live ranking, Svitolina was a losing finalist in Auckland two seasons ago.

Sonay Kartal defeated Ella Seidel in straight sets in the last round. She was in fine form against the German, relinquishing just four games and claiming victory in one hour and seven minutes. 

Kartal, who defeated sixth seed Janice Tjen in the first round, has shot up five places in the live ranking to 63rd. Kartal lost to Svitolina on clay almost a year ago in Madrid in straight sets. 

It was one of her 21 losses as she finished the campaign with a nervy 25-21 record.
