The women’s singles finals at Bad Homburg will feature two unseeded players as Donna Vekic and Diana Shnaider settle the score on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. US EST. Vekic punched her ticket to the finals after fending off a gallant second-set stand from Viktoriya Tomova of Hungary 6-0 7-6(6). The Croatian is gunning for her fifth career WTA title and first grasscourt title since winning the 2017 Nottingham Open title. Before her semis win, Vekic outlasted a quartet of top opponents on her way to the finals, downing Lucia Bronzetti of Italy 6-3 6-4 and Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia 6-4 3-6 6-3 before receiving a walk-off win after her quarterfinal foe, Katerina Seniakova, retired due to injuries. Shnaider, meanwhile, upset Emma Navarro of the United States 7-5 2-6 6-3 to book her third career WTA finals. The left-handed Shnaider completed 65 percent of her first serves and won four breakpoints to pull off a gutsy semifinal win over Navarro. The Russian also topped several notable names en route to the finals, including three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-3 in the first round.

Saturday’s finals will mark the first time Shnaider and Vekic will play each other. Vekic has an 80 percent first serves win percentage in the tournament and held 88 percent of her serves. Shnaider has shown resilience in some of her matches, saving breakpoints 17 out of 25 times (68 percent).

Shnaider’s key wins vs. Angelique Kerber and Navarro might indicate that the Russian is on the brink of a breakthrough.
