Top seed Aryna Sablenka faces unseeded Marie Bouzkova in the last eight of the Brisbane International. The winner of this match will be up against either eighth seed Mirra Andreeva or unseeded Ons Jabeur in the semi-finals. Here's our match prediction.

It's been a week of surprises in this outdoor hard court tournament. Sabalenka and Andreeva are the only two seeds remaining. That means if the world number one can reach the final, she'll be up against an unseeded opponent.

Sabalenka loves playing in Australia and has won the Australian Open for the past couple of years. Last year also saw her reach the final of this tournament. The 26-year-old has won both of her matches this week in straight sets. but did lose ten games to Yulia Putintseva in the last round.

Marie Bouzkova is the world number 44 but up a couple of places in the live rankings. A surprise win here will take the Czech into her second successive semi-final. Bouzkova reached two WTA Tour finals last year and had a win over Sabalenka in Washington.

This tournament has seen her win three matches with only Talia Gibson taking a set off her. Two seeds (Ostapenko and Azarenka) have been beaten by her. We go for over 17.5 games in this match.
