Diana Shnaider vs Leylah Fernandez prediction

Diana Shnaider will hope for a quick return to the top 20 after an up and down end to an otherwise excellent 2025.

The Russian claimed an opening win in Brisbane before losing a close encounter with Madison Keys in a final set tie-break.

The world number 21 now meets Leylah Fernandez for the fourth time with the Canadian sitting just one place below her in the rankings.

Fernandez, who managed just three games in an early loss in Brisbane last week, will be hoping for an improved showing and does their lead their head-to-head 2-1, although Shnaider did win their most recent clash in November in straight sets.

This is tight a call as you can get given the ranking, form and quality of both players so it may be worth taking in the first set before parting with your cash.
