Eighth seed Diane Shnaider takes on unseeded Elise Mertens in round two of the clay court Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. The winner goes into the quarter-finals and will face either top seed Aryna Sabalenka or unseeded Anastasia Potapova. Read our match prediction below.
Shnaider is the world number 13, one place below her career-high. This year has seen the Russian win nine matches but lose the same number. On clay this year, the 23-year-old reached round three of the recent Charleston Open.
So far in Stuttgart, Shnaider has had a three-set win over the qualifier Veronika Kudermetova with the first set being lost. Last year saw her win a WTA Tour title on this surface and another on the Challenger Tour.
World number 29 Elise Mertens has a 17-7 record in 2025.and won the WTA Tour indoor hard court tournament played in Singapore with another final reached in Hobart. Like her opponent, this is her second clay court tournament of the year.
The third round was reached in Charleston where she took Qinwen Zheng to three sets. This week in Stuttgart has begun with a straight sets win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich. Mertens has won two WTA Tour clay court titles but both were in 2018 with the last final in 2021.
We go for Mertens to win this match.

Our Elise Mertens vs Diana Shnaider Prediction
Diana Shnaider is the seeded player in this match but lacks consistency. The Russian has only reached one quarter-final this year and not won two main draw matches in a row since the Australian Open. It was a struggle in round one as she needed three sets to get the win.
Elise Mertens has had a strong year so far with one title won and another reached. A good start has been made to her clay court campaign and she won the only previous match played against Shnaider. Our Elise Mertens v Diana Shnaider prediction is Elise Mertens to win.
