Top seed Iga Swiatek will meet unseeded Mirra Andreeva in the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Open on Saturday. Here’s a peek of the match and our prediction as they face off for the first time, with the winner playing Aryna Sabalenka or Liudmila Samsonova next.

Iga Swiatek is one win away from defending the points she won here last year when she made it to the semis.

The world number one is having another superb year and has so far claimed 54 wins in 60 outings. This has resulted in five tour titles and an Olympic Bronze Medal. Two of Swiatek’s titles this year have been on hard courts at WTA 1000 level.

To advance to this round, saw off Marta Kostyuk by the loss of four games.

Mirra Andreeva is debuting in Cincinnati and she’s doing well. The young Russian is having a strong year, having compiled a 25-11 record. Most of her highlights have, however, been achieved on clay.

She won her maiden tour title in Iasi and then made a historic run to the semi-finals at Roland Garros. At the French Open, the 17-year-old shocked world number three Aryna Sabalenka in the quarters. Andreeva has so far in 2024 claimed four top 10 wins.

The most recent came in the third round in Cincinnati against world number five Jasmine Paolini. She won in three sets, coming from behind to claim her ninth win on hard courts. Andreeva’s run in Cincinnati has bumped her three places to 21st in the live ranking, a new career-high.
