Third seed Katerina Siniakova and sixth seed Peyton Stearns will meet at this year’s Tennis in the Land tournament. They will square off in the quarter-finals on Thursday. Here’s a look at the match stats and our prediction. 

Though she has made the last eight here, Siniakova looked shaky in her first two matches. She required deciders to sail through after losing the first set both times. Her first-round battle against the qualifier Sayaka Ishii lasted close to three hours and saw tiebreakers played in two sets. 

The same was also needed in her next match against qualifier Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The 28-year-old has now compiled a 28-18 record after making it to the quarters here. She, however, has dropped one place to 37th in the live ranking. Siniakova lost both tour quarter-finals she contested this year. 

Peyton Stearns defeated Siniakova last year on clay at Roland Garros. That remains their only encounter to date and she will be eager to double her advantage. The American is coming off a straight sets victory over the defending champion Sara Sorribes Tormo. 

She was more decisive in that second-round tie than she was in her opener against Moyuka Uchijima. While she has compiled a shaky 21-19 record, Stearns is having her best tour campaign. This is after she claimed her maiden tour title following a successful outing in Rabat. 

Advancing to this round has moved the 22-year-old one place to 46th in the live ranking. The winner here will battle Beatriz Haddad Maia or Clara Burel for a place in the final.
