Top seed Elena Rybakina begins her Stuttgart campaign in the second round and will face the unseeded Diana Shnaider. This will be their first-ever meeting, and the winner will play Leylah Fernandez or Zeynep Sonmez in the quarter-finals. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Rybakina is making her season debut on clay this week. The Kazakh star has been one of the season’s top performers and so far has claimed 21 victories, culminating in a first-ever Australian Open title.
As a former Stuttgart champion, Rybakina is a strong favorite to emerge victorious on her return to the tournament. The world number two was crowned champion of this event in her last appearance two seasons ago. She is placed second in the live rankings.
Diana Shnaider, 19th in the live rankings, is making her third successive appearance in Stuttgart. She has had an improved finish each time she returned.
After dropping out in the first round on her debut, Shnaider exited in the second round last season. She will be eager for another improved run, and an upset in this round is the best motivation.
Shnaider, who is having an up-and-down season, defeated Tamara Korpatsch in straight sets in the first round. The world number 19 has now won 11 matches and has a semi-final finish in Adelaide as her highlight of the campaign.

Rybakina, though, should have enough in her locker to withstand Shnaider’s challenge. Our prediction for Elena Rybakina v Diana Shnaider is for the exact score: 2-1.
