Britain's Jack Draper is the seventh seed in the Erste Bank Open. He's through to the quarter-finals of this indoor hard court tournament and faces unseeded Tomas Machac. Here's our match prediction.

For the winner, there's a semi-final against either top seed Alexander Zverev or sixth-seeded Lorenzo Musetti. Jack Draper is up to a career-high 17th in the live rankings after making it to the last eight in Vienna.

He has won both of his matches this week in straight sets. Victories have come against wild card Kei Nishikori and unseeded Luciano Darderi. This is the fourth consecutive hard court tournament in which he has reached at least the last eight.

Tomas Machac has also been consistent of late. A win here will take the world number 27 into a semi-final for the third time in four tournaments. Machac has equalled his career-high of 25th and will rise another place if beating Draper.

The 24-year-old beat Fabian Marozsan in round one and then took on third seed Grigor Dimitrov. He lost the first set on a tie-break but won the next two for the loss of seven games. He's now won seven of his last nine matches, one lost via retirement and the other to Jannik Sinner.

We tip him to beat Draper.
