Donna Vekic vs Diana Shnaider Head-To-Head

Vekic and Shnaider have played three times. It is the young Russian who leads 2-1, with both victories coming on grass. Vekic beat Shnaider in three sets en route to the round of 16 of this year’s Australian Open.

The Donna Vekic vs Diana Shnaider Match Preview!

Donna Vekic is really trying to find her footing on grass right before Wimbledon, where she's defending some big semifinal points from last year. Unfortunately, it's been a tough start for the Croatian, as she's currently on a three-match losing streak this grass-court season. She had a surprising first-round exit at Queen's against Anastasia Zakharova and then got straight-setted by Diana Shnaider just last week in Berlin. This will be her third grass tournament this month, and it's looking like a real uphill battle for her to match last year's impressive 10-4 record on the surface.

And guess who she's playing again? Diana Shnaider, for the second time in two weeks! Shnaider is actually the second seed at the Bad Homburg Open and the defending champion, which is pretty cool. Last season, she was the only woman to snag titles on all three surfaces. During her championship run here last year, she only dropped two sets, and one of those was to Vekic in the final. Even though this tournament is packed with big names looking for some grass-court action, this rematch is just a first-round clash this time around. Unlike Vekic, Shnaider has a solid 3-2 record on grass this swing, and even in her losses to Grand Slam champs Madison Keys and Marketa Vondrousova, she managed to snag at least a set.

The Pick: Donna Vekic Set Handicap +1.5

It seems like these two just can't get away from each other! This will be their fourth time facing off in the last 12 months, and it all started right here in Bad Homburg when Shnaider took home the title last year. I'm definitely expecting a much more fired-up Vekic this time around after a rough start to the grass season. She's really running out of matches and time to get sharp before Wimbledon. That being said, I think taking the Vekic set handicap is a pretty good move here.
