Diana Schneider - Caroline Dolhide: betting tip for the WTA Rome match

Current form

At the first two clay tournaments in Charleston and Stuttgart, Schneider overcame one round each and sheathed her racket. Nevertheless, progress has already been made in Madrid. The Russian tennis player, who recently began working with Dinara Safina, scored two crushing victories over Volynets and Sevastova, and in the 1/8 finals lost in a hard-fought match to Schwentek (0-6, 7-6, 4-6). Ahead of the start in Rome, where Schneider has the opportunity to replenish her piggy bank with rating points, since a year ago she sheathed her racket here in the second round.

Professional qualities

Diana is a southpaw with an awkward serve for many competitors. She moves well and quickly on the back line. Due to his excellent footwork, Schneider manages to keep up with many balls, and not just interrupts the ball, but tries to make it as uncomfortable as possible for his opponents.

Current indicators in the tour

Overall, the season is not going well for Schneider. So far, she has 11 wins since the beginning of the year and the same number of defeats. She ranks 11th in the ranking and, if she performs successfully in Rome, has a chance to make her debut in the top 10.

Interesting facts for betting

• In three of the last four matches, Schneider played in two sets.
• In four consecutive matches with Diana, no more than nine games were played in the first set.

Current form

Dolhide started in Rome from the first round and narrowly beat Gadeki in three sets (7-6, 5-7, 6-2). The American did not demonstrate a reliable game on her serve in that meeting, but due to good physical fitness she turned out to be stronger than her opponent. It should be noted that for the first time in her career, Karolin made it to the second round at this tournament.

Professional qualities

The American woman does not have a diverse game. In many ways, she relies on a powerful forehand. Plus, if the first serve is flying, then Dolhide scores a decent number of points on it.

Current indicators in the tour

Dolhide has not shown high results this season, winning ten matches and suffering nine defeats. She ranks a modest 73rd in the world ranking.

Interesting facts for betting

• Dolhide played three sets in three consecutive matches.
