Katie Boulter is three wins away from a third successive Nottingham Open title. The eighth seed takes on unseeded McCartney Kessler in the last eight of this grass court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Boulter is 39th in the live rankings and could still be seeded at Wimbledon if retaining this title. The 23-year-old can also regain the British number one ranking that was lost to Emma Raducanu last week.
Her grass court season began with a second round loss to Diana Shnaider at Queen's Club. This week in Nottingham has seen her defeat Lulu Sun in straight sets and then fellow Brit Sonay Kartal in three sets.
The winner of this match will be up against either seventh seed Linda Noskova or unseeded Rebecca Sramkova in the semi-finals.
McCartney Kessler is up to a career-high 40th in the live rankings. The 25-year-old American also lost in round two at Queen's Club last week, being defeated by top seed Qinwen Zheng. This is her fourth quarter-final of the year with one hard court title won in Hobart.
To reach this quarter-final, Kessler has had wins over top seed Beatriz Haddad Maia and Zhu Lin.
We go for over 20.5 games to be played in this match.

Our McCartney Kessler vs Katie Boulter Prediction
When the first round draw for this year's Wimbledon is made, no seed will fancy playing McCartney Kessler. The unseeded player has made a good start to her grass court campaign with a win over Beatriz Haddad Maia this week. That built on taking a set off Qinwen Zheng at Queen's Club last week.
Defending champion Katie Boulter had a tough match on Thursday. Three sets were needed to get past Sonay Kartal. Boulter is regularly playing long matches. Our McCartney Kessler v Katie Boulter prediction is over 20.5 games to be played.
