Our pick: Stephens S. – Shnaider D.: 2

03.07.2024 14:00

In 2013, Sloane Stephens walked all the way to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon and was considered a dangerous grass-court player. But where are last year’s snows? The thirty-one-year-old American hasn’t been performing well on grass in recent seasons, and in the opening round of this year’s Wimbledon, she was lucky on the draw when she played France’s Elsa Jacquemot. The fact that Stephens is not a fan of grass tournaments is evidenced by the canary she suffered a week ago in Eastbourne from Emma Raducanu.

It’s the 20-year-old Diana Shnaider who is a different kettle of fish. Turns out the grass could be very much in this young puncher’s favour. After all, she won her dress rehearsal in Bad Homburg, was in the quarterfinals in Birmingham, and in the opening round at the All England Club, she beat Czech sharpshooter Karolina Pliskova in three sets, and even a slightly sleepy performance was enough for Šnajderová. She certainly didn’t show all that she has in her and what made her win her first grass tournament last week. I’m sure the fatigue from the quick trip from Germany showed a bit. But now she’s rested and acclimatized again, which will show on the court.

What to bet on:

Shnaider is part of a generation of players who are starting to make an increasing impact on the WTA circuit. In the Wimbledon second round clash, she will find a recipe to knock Sloane Stephens out of the singles tournament.

Trust:

8/10
