THE PREDICTION
World number 219 Jule Niemeier has spent much of the year on the ITF circuit but suddenly finds herself in the quarter-finals of a WTA 250 event here following a straight-sets victory over seventh seed Shelby Rogers. This kind of momentum for the 21-year-old is vastly important moment to cling on to and she will be handful for world number 84 Arantxa Rus to cope with. 30-year-old Rus beat second-seed Jessica Pegula on Tuesday to show what she Is capable of and she has extra rest time on her side after Niemeier was forced to complete her round of 16 match on Thursday morning due to poor weather. However, in recent weeks we have seen weather delays actually benefit some players and Niemeier is young enough to come into this quarter-final fresh enough and with potentially vital match-practice in her legs from earlier today. To this end, take the German to win at least a set in this first meeting.
