Diana Shnaider vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction
Diana Shnaider caught the eye in the second round as she dished out a double bagel to Caroline Dolehide.
The 21-year-old Russian continues to live up to the hype as one to watch in the big tournaments as the year progresses and will have her sights on a deep run in Rome.
Next up, she meets Romania’s Jaqueline Cristian who played the big points extremely well in her 7-6 7-5 success over 23rd seed Yulia Putintseva.
The world number 74 has yet to drop a set in the Italian capital, but that will probably change against the 13th seed, Shnaider.
The 21-year-old has won both of her previous meetings with Cristian and she will be confident of maintaining her perfect record in this one too.
