Kimberly Birrell vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction

Kimberly Birrell has her sight set on a shock semi-final berth in Adelaide.

The world number 107 was handed a walkover from the last eight after former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova withdrew.

The Aussie wildcard had upset lucky loser Anastasia Potapova in her opener and now takes on a red-hot Jaqueline Cristian.

The Romanian backed up a superb win over fourth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova with a 6-4 6-0 demolition of Darai Kasatkina to make it four straight wins from qualifying without dropping a set.

Birrell is playing well but if Cristian maintains that level of form the world number 37 should have too much in all departments for the home underdog. 

Kimberly Birrell vs Jaqueline Cristian tip: Jaqueline Cristian to win 2-0
