THE PREDICTION
This should be a fierce first encounter between hard-grafter Jasmien Paolini and 19-year-old up-and-comer Diana Shnaider. 28-year-old Paolini set a career-high WTA world ranking of 29th late last season after some excellent work on the late hardcourt swing, particularly in reaching the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters, as well as finishing runner-up at the Jasmin Open in October. 19-year-odl Diana Shnaider lost her opening match of 2024 to fellow Russian youngster Mirra Andreeva in Brisbane but she was vastly impressive on her debut here last season, taking the first set from Maria Sakkari before defeat in the second round, and she finished runner-up to Ons Jabeur at the Ningbo Open in September. Shnaider has a huge game for hardcourt conditions but Paolini is a dependable battler who rarely goes down easy. Back the Italian to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: JASMINE PAOLINI TO WIN A SET
