Karolina Pliskova vs Diana Shnaider prediction

Karolina Pliskova mounted a remarkable comeback to beat Hanne Vandewinkel in the first-round of the US Open. The former world number one, who reached the final of this event a decade ago, was 6-2 5-2 down and had to save a match point but turned things around to win 2-6 7-5 6-3. Pliskova was poor during the first part of the match and committed 10 double faults in total, but she survived under pressure and underlined her experience to come through.

She will now face Diana Shanider. The Russian easily got past Daria Snigur to set up a meeting with Pliskova. She converted six out of nine break points as she won 6-0 6-4. Her recent hard court performances have been very solid, with a semi-final appearance in Washington and a last eight finish at the Canadian Open.

Shnaider is the far more consistent player of the two nowadays, and Pliskova will struggle if she continues to serve poorly.
