Aryna Sabalenka vs Diana Shnaider Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka continues her quest for a first Roland Garros title when she comes up against Diana Shnaider in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Sabalenka couldn't really ask for a better opportunity to land that elusive first French Open title.
Defending champion Coco Gauff, four-time winner Iga Swiatek and World No. 2 Elena Rybakina have all been eliminated before the quarter-finals, with Sabalenka the only player remaining in the field who has played a slam final. With either Anna Kalinskaya or Maja Chwalinska waiting in the semi-finals, Sabalenka is the overwhelming favourite to return to the final in Paris.
This really should be a straightforward matchup for the top seed. Shnaider is playing her first major quarter-final and hasn't really been playing well all year, but has taken advantage of a good draw this tournament.
Shnaider has clear limitations against the elite - she's a dire 1-14 vs top 10 opponents and had lost her last eight matches vs the top 20 prior to her win over Madison Keys in the R16. I'm backing Sabalenka to cover a -5.5 line, while I don't mind the odds for the World No. 1 to hold all of her service games in the opening set in a Picklebet special market play.

It's been another dominant year for Sabalenka - she's won 31 of her 34 matches, picking up titles in Brisbane, Indian Wells and Miami, along with a runner-up finish at the Australian Open.
There were question marks surrounding Sabalenka's clay form after defeats to Hailey Baptiste and Sorana Cirstea in Madrid and Rome respectively.
However, the World No. 1 has answered those doubts emphatically, surging into the French Open quarter-finals without dropping a single set.
After easing past Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Elsa Jacquemot and Daria Kasatkina, Sabalenka raised her level for the challenge of Naomi Osaka, holding off the four-time major winner in a 7-5 6-3 victory.

- French Open Record: 6-3
- Current Ranking: No. 23

It's been a challenging year for Shnaider - she's fallen out of the top 20 after failing to win back-to-back matches in seven of her last eight tournaments prior to arriving at Roland Garros.
However, Shanider has made the most of a relatively kind draw to reach her maiden major quarter-final.
The 22-year-old opened her campaign with an easy straight sets win over Renata Zarazua before more straight sets victories over McCartney Kessler and Oleksandra Oliynykova.
Shnaider dropped her first set of the tournament against former Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the R16, but regrouped strongly, dropping a bagel in the decider for a 6-3 3-6 6-0 victory.
