Yue Yuan certainly did not expect to have this chance to reach the Libema Open quarter-finals. The Chinese player faces unseeded Kimberly Birrell in the last 16 of this outdoor grass court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
Yuan was beaten in her second qualifying match by Carson Branstine. Then the 26-year-old was reinstated into the main draw as a lucky loser. Full advantage was taken of that reprieve as she defeat Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets and is now 84th in the live rankings.
This year has seen her win ten of her 24 matches. That includes a hard court loss to Birrell in February. Yuan lost in straight sets but both went to a tie-break. A side bet on one here could be a winner.
Kimberly Birrell is facing her second successive Chinese opponent. The Australian defeated Wang Xinyu in round one and is 78th in the live rankings. Birrell had a successful grass court campaign last year. A semi-final and two quarter-finals were reached but again she failed to qualify for Wimbledon.
A win over Yuan will see her make it into her second grass court uqarter-final of 2025 after reaching that stage in Birmingham last week.
We tip her to win this match.

Our Kimberly Birrell vs Yue Yuan Prediction
Kimberly Birrell has made a strong start to her 2025 grass court season. The Australian has won three of her four matches and another win will see her get to a second quarter-final. That would be against either the third seed Elise Mertens or unseeded Maria Sakkari.
Yue Yuan was beaten in the qualifying rounds but then reinstated. Grass is not her best surface with only two wins from six matches last year. Our Kimberly Birrell v Yue Yuan prediction is Kimberly Birrell to win.
