Diana Schneider is in great form, having won in Hua Hin and reached the final in the US. She went through the qualifiers in Stuttgart and defeated Zvonareva and Buyuk. She showed a determined victory, turning the match around. Paula Badosa continues to suffer from injuries and has not fully recovered. In Hua Hin, Diana has already beaten the Spanish player, who is close to dropping out of the top 100 rankings. Schneider will be playing on her favorite surface, which is her strong point. I expect Diana to handle Paula, possibly even in straight sets.
