There have been plenty of surprise results and withdrawals so far in this Singapore Open. Hailey Baptiste takes on Kimberly Birrell in round two and both players are unseeded. Who'll become a quarter-finalist? Time for our match prediction.
The winner of this match will face either unseeded Anna Li or lucky loser Maria Timofeeva in the last eight. That means we're guaranteed an unseeded player in the semi-finals of this outdoor hard court tournament.
Kimberly Birrell is up to a career-high 91st in the live rankings after beating Polina Kudermetova. The wild card only dropped five games against the fifth seed. Birrell is attempting to reach her second quarter-final of the year having also reached that stage in Brisbane.
Hailey Baptiste is just one place below her opponent in the live rankings. The American had a tough first round match against Renata Zarazua and had to come from behind after losing the first set 6-2.
Baptiste has also reached one quarter-final this year. That was in Auckland where she lost to Naomi Osaka in three sets. Her win over Zarazua saw her avoid a third successive defeat after a first round exit at the Australian Open.
This could be a close match and we go for over 20.5 games to be played.
