Yulia Starodubtseva’s impressive Jasmine Open continues against Sonay Kartal in the quarters on Friday. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.

Starodubtseva is having her best-ever season at tour level and is one win away from setting a new career-best performance. The Ukrainian won her first main draw match at this level in her run to the second round at Wimbledon.

This year she also qualified for the main draw at all four majors. She defeated Kartal in qualifying at the US Open in what was their first career meeting. The 24-year-old, who has compiled a 33-20 record competing across all three circuits, defeated Diane Parry in the last round.

She won in straight sets against the third seed and is now on a four-match winning run. Advancing to this round has propelled Starodubtseva up to 114th in the live ranking.

Sonay Kartal, on a four-match winning run, will be out for revenge in this fixture. The Briton is seeking to win three main draw matches at a tour event for the first time. She won twice in her run to the third round at Wimbledon.

Kartal defeated Mai Hontama in straight sets in the last round, following up on her three-set victory over fifth seed Jaqueline Cristian. This was the 41st win of a dominant year that has seen her lose just seven times.

The 22-year-old has won five ITF titles, four being on outdoor hard courts. Kartal has earned over 70 ranking points by advancing to the quarter-finals in Monastir. This has bumped her 21 places to 130th in the live ranking.

The winner here will meet Greet Minnen, Zeynep Sonmez, Eva Lys or Elise Mertens next.
