Clara Tauson vs Diana Shnaider prediction
Clara Tauson’s poor form continued as she lost in the first-round of the German Open to Diane Parry in straight sets. That was the Dane’s seventh loss in succession, and she has failed to win a match since her opening round match in Indian Wells at the beginning of March. Tauson began her grass court season at the Libema Open but also lost after a defeat to Mia Pohankova.
Diana Shnaider enjoyed one of the best runs of her career at Roland Garros as she beat the likes of world number one Aryna Sabalenka to progress to her first ever Grand Slam semi-final, but she was then on the end of a disappointing defeat to qualifier Maya Chwalinksa. Shnaider made the transition to grass in Berlin last week, but she lost in three sets to Nikola Bartunkova in the first-round. She is a former champion as this event, winning the 2024 edition.
Shnaider leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win at the US Open two years ago. It’s difficult to have much confidence in Tauson picking up a result after her wretched run of results.
