Qualifier Polina Kudermetova is one match away from her first WTA Final. Standing between her and the Brisbane International final is unseeded Anhelina Kalinina. Here's our match prediction.
The winner of this outdoor hard court match will face either top seed Aryna Sabalenka or eighth-seeded Mirra Andreeva in the final.
Kudermetova began this tournament ranked 107th but is up to a new career-high of 72nd in the live rankings. The 21-year-old had to win two qualifying matches just to get into the main draw and did so without dropping a set.
That included beating the top seed Zeynep Sonmez. In the main draw, Kudermetova has had wins over Wang Xinyu, 13th seed Liudmila Samsonova and third seeded Daria Kasatkina (after dropping the first set in both) and Ashlyn Krueger,
Anhelina Kalinina is the world number 55 but up nine places in the live list. A win here will take the 27-year-old into her third WTA Tour final but the first on hard courts. The Ukrainian hadn't won since August in the US Open but has returned to form this week.
Wins have come against Wang Yafan, fifth seeded Diana Shnaider (in three sets), Yuan Yue and in the quarter-finals, wild card Kimberly Birrell after losing the first set. We go for over 19.5 games to be played.
