Emma Raducanu vs Taylah Preston prediction
Emma Raducanu will be a strong favourite to book her spot in the last four in Hobart.
The Brit overcame a rain delay and a second-set deficit to edge Camila Osorio 6-3 7-6.
The top seed was then handed a real bonus as she progressed to the last eight when Magdalena Frech withdrew.
It means Raducanu will now meet another wildcard in the shape of Aussie youngster Taylah Preston.
The 20-year-old world number 204 followed up her surprise straight sets win over fifth seed Jess Bouzas Maneiro with an impressive 6-4 6-1 success against Rebecca Sramkova.
This could prove tricky for Raducanu, who will know she will be the heavy favourite here and is also still recovering from an injury right at the start of the year.
Preston is showing the sort of fearless tennis to suggest she could take another scalp here, particularly if world number 29 Raducanu is not at her best.
Emma Raducanu vs Taylah Preston tip: Over 2.5 sets
