Australian No.1 Daria Gavrilova has edged into the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon warm-up event in Birmingham with a 7-5 2-6 6-4 win over Czech Katerina Siniakova .
The world No.21 battled with her serve in hot conditions in England's second city, being broken six times, but showed great character to see off her 40th-ranked rival in just under two-and-a-half hours.
Fellow Australian Ashleigh Barty will face eighth-seeded Czech Barbra Strycova later on Wednesday.
