Diana Shnaider, the 18th seed at the 2024 US Open, will take on unseeded Clara Tauson in the second round. Read on for the stats leading up to this match for both players and our prediction.

Clara Tauson has never progressed past the second round at the US Open. She has lost twice in this very round in her three appearances and will be hoping to stop the trend. The Dane, who produced a fourth-round finish at the French Open earlier this year, is having a topsy-turvy season.

She has compiled a 28-20 record and has managed just two wins in her last 10 fixtures. One of those wins was a come-from-behind victory against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the first round. Tauson is currently placed 67th in the WTA.

Diana Shnaider began her debut appearance at Flushing Meadows in dominant fashion. Pitted against Nadia Podoroska in the first round, the Russian allowed her opponent just one game in their contest.

She won in under an hour, showcasing why she has been one of the form players in the WTA this season. The 20-year-old is having her best-ever tour campaign and so far has won three titles across different surfaces.

Alternating between the tour and challenger circuits, Shnaider has won in Hua Hin, Paris, Bad Homburg and Budapest. With a 44-17 record, Shnaider, who won Silver in the Doubles event at the Paris Olympics, is placed 16th in the live ranking.

This will be the two players' first career meeting and the winner will take on Caroline Dolehide or Sara Errani in the third round.
