Darja Semenistaja vs Teodora Kostovic prediction

Darja Semenistaja held her nerve in the key moments to oust Hayu Kinoshita in Sao Paulo.

The Latvian clinched a 7-5 6-4 victory over the Japanese to set up a maiden clash with Teodora Kostovic after the Serb raced to a 6-2 6-4 success over home hope Victoria Luiza Barros.

World number 120, Darja is the ninth seed here and sits 66 places better off than Teodora. 

Overall form, ranking and the surface suggest Semenistaja is the one to watch here as she looks to take advantage of her place at the top of the draw following the withdrawal of Leylah Fernandez.
