Diana Shnaider vs Kamilla Rakhimova prediction
Diana Shanider enters the tournament as the third seed. She crashed out of the Cincinnati Open early on, losing a three set match against Yue Yuan. This follows another second-round defeat in Montreal a week earlier to Marie Bouzkova. Shnaider has struggled in terms of form over the last couple of months and has not won consecutive matches at a tournament since Queen’s Club, where she made the quarters.
Kamilla Rakhimova will be her opponent after she defeated Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets. Bouzas Maneiro was in strong form heading into this tournament, with deep runs in Montreal and Cincinnati, but she was not at her best here, despite having the opportunity to serve out the second set to force a decider. Rakhimova broke back and won the last three games in a row to seal an impressive 6-4 7-5 win.
Shnaider holds a 2-0 record against Rakhimova, with two previous victories in straight sets, both on hard court. Despite her patchy recent form, she enjoys a strong previous record against her compatriot and should have enough to win.
