Command Analysis
Elise Mertens
BelgiumCurrent form
Mertens went to ground two weeks ago in Charleston. In those competitions, the Belgian tennis player overcame one round, after which she lost to Zheng Jingwen (3-6, 6-3, 3-6). In Stuttgart, Elise's opponent in the first round was Alexandra Sosnovich. All the main events in that meeting unfolded in the opening game. Mertens won the tiebreak, after which she confidently brought the matter to victory in two sets (7-6, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Eliza relies more on an attacking style of play, on quick high-tempo draws, always boldly attacking when the opportunity arises, and is not afraid to go to the net. In general, such tennis brings her success in duels with not the most formidable opponents, and in matches against top tennis players she often fails.
Current indicators in the tour
Mertens spends his regular season at a stable level – he succeeds in small tournaments, overcomes several rounds at prestigious starts and covers his racket. Elise has won the title in Singapore.
Interesting facts for betting
- Mertens had played three sets in only one of her previous five matches.
- In three of Mertens' last five matches, more than nine games were played in the first game.
Diana Shnaider
Russian FederationCurrent form
A year ago in Stuttgart, Schneider failed to overcome the barrier of the first round. This time, Diana was also close to covering her racket at the start. She lost the first game to Veronika Kudermetova, but largely due to the nature and mistakes of her opponent, she turned the course of the match in her favor (5-7, 6-2, 6-3).
Professional qualities
Diana is known for her good movement on the court and high movement speed, which allows her to get the most difficult balls on the back line. Plus, she is left-handed, which creates problems for many competitors. At the same time, Schneider is often in a hurry, takes reckless risks, and, accordingly, makes mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Schneider's season results are not the most impressive – nine wins and the same number of defeats. So far, she has never won more than two rounds in a single tournament, and she ranks 13th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
- In five of the previous six matches, Schneider did not exchange the sets she won with her rivals.
- In three consecutive matches with Schneider's participation, no more than nine games were played in the second game.

On the eve of the start in Stuttgart, Dina began working with Dinara Safina. The debut under the guidance of a new mentor was successful, but there are still many questions about the game, and you definitely shouldn't overestimate the victory on Kudermetova.
