World number 254 Alina Korneeva takes on world number 127 Zeynep Sonmez in the semi-finals of the Merida Open. The winner of their first-ever meeting will play Ann Li or Polina Kudermetova in the championship match. Our prediction for this match follows below.
Zeynep Sonmez has made it to her first tour semi-final. She defeated top seed Renata Zarazua in three sets to achieve this feat. Sonmez, who has compiled a 39-25 record, dug her heels in against the Mexican and came from a set down.
Making it to the last four has catapulted the Turkish number one 18 places to 109th in the live ranking.
Alina Korneeva is also having her best-ever performance at a tour tournament. The teenager, who made her tour debut just last season, had only two main draw wins at a tour event before this week.
She has been in excellent form in Merida and is yet to lose a set in three outings. The Russian overcame the challenge of Sara Sorribes Tormo in the quarter-finals. She won by the loss of four games, improving her record for the season to 17-5.
Korneeva has also made a huge leap in the WTA rankings. She is now ranked 183rd in the live ranking after catapulting up a massive 71 places.

Our Zeynep Sonmez vs Alina Korneeva Prediction
Our prediction for Zeynep Sonmez v Alina Korneeva is for Korneeva to win. Korneeva has been in impeccable form in Merida, winning her three fixtures without losing a set. All her wins have come against players ranked more than 100 places above her, one against a seeded player.
Her run here highlights the sort of form she has been in all season, especially on hard courts. With Sonmez showing inconsistency throughout the year, a win for Korneeva looks like the best pick here.
