World number one Ashleigh Barty set up an intriguing quarter-final against American teenager Coco Gauff at the Italian Open.
Australian Barty beat Russia's Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 6-3, while Gauff earned a 7-5 6-3 win over Aryna Sabalenka, who won last week's event in Madrid.
Gauff, widely tipped for a bright future after high-profile wins, has never played Barty in singles before.
"It will be great to see where my level is," Gauff said.
"I mean, she's the number one player in the world. I have no pressure on me.
"I'm just going to go out there and see what I can do and try my best.
