Alexandra Eala vs Diana Shnaider prediction

Alexandra Eala cruised past Diane Parry to tee up a first ever meeting with Diana Shnaider.

The Filipina stormed to a 6-3 6-1 success over the French star but knows it will be a tougher proposition against the Russian sixth seed.

Shnaider edged to a 7-5 7-6 victory over Yulia Putintseva and has the power to overwhelm Eala, who will have to be at her counter-punching best and serve very well here.
