Second seed Katie Boulter will face off with sixth seed Yuan Yue in the semi-finals in Hong Kong. This will be their second meeting of the year and ahead of it, we have a prediction for the match.
Yuan Yue has the chance to avenge her loss to Boulter at the Australian Open earlier this year.
She has been in fine form in Hong Kong and only once in three fixtures has she dropped a set. Yue, who has moved up to 44th in the live ranking, defeated Sofia Kenin in straight sets in the quarter-finals.
A champion in Austin earlier in the year, Yue has improved her record to 32-26.
Katie Boulter defeated Yue 2-0 in Melbourne and will be out for a similar outcome in her quest for another tour title. The Briton has won two titles this year, one on hard court and one on grass.
Yet to drop a set in Hong Kong, Boulter defeated the in-form Anastasia Zakharova in the last round. She won by the loss of four games, improving her record to 35-21.
Making it to the semis has bumped Boulter up two places and into 27th place in the live ranking. The winner here will play Diana Shnaider, Suzan Lamens, Leylah Fernandez or Bernarda Pera in the final.

Our Yue Yuan vs Katie Boulter Prediction
Our prediction for Yuan Yue v Katie Boulter is for Boulter to win in three sets. Boulter has won two titles this season, one on a hard court. She has also won against Yue on an outdoor hard surface this season.
Coupling that with the fact that she arrives for this match in better form than Yue, a win for her looks like a good pick. It, however, won't be a walk in the park like in their earlier meeting as Yue is on home soil here. There is also a final at stake and both are already tour champions.
