McCartney Kessler, ranked No. 53, faces Yuliia Starodubtseva, No. 89, in the Credit One Charleston Open quarterfinals on green clay, where both boast 3-0 records this week. Kessler leads their head-to-head 2-1, including a 6-2, 6-1 qualifying win in Abu Dhabi last year, though they've never met on clay. The American advanced past Peyton Stearns 6-0, 3-6, 6-4 in the round of 16 after earlier wins over Janice Tjen and Elvina Kalieva, showing resilience despite dropping two sets total. Starodubtseva dominated Renata Zarazua 6-1, 6-0, following straight-set triumphs over Shuai Zhang and Ekaterine Gorgodze, winning 63% of points played. Home crowd support favors Kessler, but Starodubtseva's efficiency poses upset potential in this first-to-semifinals clash.
