The fourth and final quarter-final at the Pan Pacific Open sees Alexandra Eala and Diana Shnaider go against each other.

They played as recently as last week in Ningbo, with Shnaider prevailing in a very tight straight sets contest.

She will hope to replicate that result with Eala all guns blazing for a place in the last-four, with the added incentive that the World No.1, Elena Rybakina, has withdrawn from the tournament. Follow for live updates!
