 Martina Treveson vs. Elina Rabakina is the first quarterfinal for the ladies Miami Open for 2023 And both ladies have had very similar roads to get to this stage Treveson started the tournament off as the 25th seed and we're gonna buy in the first round in the second round She take on the qualifier Habino, but this was no problem for Treveson getting through in straight sets 6463 in the third round she take on Lou the unseated player who avoided playing igish fjontec Thanks to fjontec pulling out and this was the toughest test so far for treveson getting through in a long Three-set match four six seven five six four to advance to the fourth round in the fourth round She take on the 24th seed Oster Penko who had just beaten Hedadj Maya the 13th seed in the previous round But this was very impressive by treveson getting through in straight sets 6363 to advance to the quarterfinals Rabakina started the tournament off as the number 10 seed and we get a buy in the first round In the second round she take on Callan Skyar and after dropping the second set Rabakina was forced to fight Eventually getting through in three seven five four six six three to advance to the third round The third round she take on Bodosa the 21st seed who had had a battle in her previous round And after losing the first set and being down match point Rabakina fought back to win in a very ugly match Three six seven five six three to get to the fourth round in the fourth round She take on the unseated Mertens who'd beaten Kazakina and Martich along the way and this was by far the best Performance from Rabakina for the week getting through in straight sets six four six three to advance to the quarterfinals These two players have actually never faced off before so it's gonna be interesting to see how they both match up against each other Treveson is gonna win this one. She's gonna have to use her counter punching game She's a very good defender. She's a very good clay court player So she's just gonna have to make Rabakina play a lot of shots But she's also gonna have to attack when she gets the chance because we do know Rabakina Love to stay in the middle of baseline and just getting the ball back might not be enough If we're back is gonna win this one she needs to limit the errors the errors have been so bad this week from Rabakina Just too many she's made so many errors She'd be very lucky to get out of the matches with the errors But she can't afford to do that against someone as consistent as Treveson This is a very strange matchup because I guess we expected Rabakina to be here But with Ash Fiontech at the top of the draw it could have been anyone and it's Treveson I'm gonna go with Rabakina to win this one in straight sets a close straight sets Hopefully she can limit the errors, but I just think she'll be too good for Treveson in this one Let me know down in the comments below though. Who do you think's gonna win this one?
