Qualifier Mananchaya Sawangkaew’s run to the Jiujiang quarter-finals will pit her against the unseeded Laura Siegemund for a semi-final berth. As the two brace for a Friday showdown, here's our prediction for the match. 

Mananchaya Sawangkaew battled from a set down to defeat Zheng Saisai in the last round. The win allowed her to move to the last eight of a tour event for the second time in her career. She now seeks to reach the semis for the first time. 

Sawangkaew has now compiled a 48-26 record. Her performances this week have catapulted her to 132nd in the live ranking, a new career high world placing for her.

Laura Siegemund has suffered multiple quarter-final losses this season. The one in which she didn’t lose was in Hua Hin, where she managed to get to the final. The two-time tour champion will be hoping for a similar trajectory here. 

Siegemund, who is yet to lose a set this week, overcame the challenge of compatriot Tamara Korpatsch in the last round. The German has now improved her record to 27-20 and moved 11 places to 90th in the live ranking. 

The winner here will play Anna Bondar, Martina Trevisan, Wei Sijia, or Rebecca Sramkova for a place in the championship match.
