Winner faces Svitolina or Stearns in the semis.

Jun 8, 2024; Paris, France; Jasmine Paolini of Italy reacts to a point during her match against Iga ?wi?tek of Poland on day 14 of Roland Garros at Stade Roland Garros.

No. 6 seed Jasmine Paolini takes on 21-year-old young gun Diana Shnaider in the 2025 Internazionali BNL d’Italia quarterfinal on Tuesday. Paolini will be defending runner-up points at Roland Garros later this month, and looks to add some much-needed points to her account ahead of the red dirt major. However, the southpaw will put up a tough fight to deny her a semifinal entry at the Italian capital.

Both players are searching for their first championship run this year. The 29-year-old Italian, who is a Top-10 player on the doubles circuit, has defeated the likes of Ons Jabeur and Jelena Ostapenko en route to the last eight stage. Having lost in Round-2 at the Italian Open last year, Paolini has nothing to lose. On the other hand, Shnaider’s victims include Dolehide, Cristian and Mertens.

Jasmine Paolini vs Diana Shnaider Head to Head Record

The head to head record between Jasmine Paolini and Diana Shnaider is 1-0 in favour of the higher ranked Italian. Their solitary meeting was at the Australian Open in 2024.

Coming face to face in the opening round at Melbourne Park last year, Paolini and Shnaider played out an entertaining match. It was the No. 26 seed Paolini who emerged victorious in straight sets to progress into Round-2. As a result, Tuesday’s QF clash will be the first time they lock horns on clay.

Jasmine Paolini vs Diana Shnaider Italian Open 2025 Prediction

Paolini has a very strong clay court game – she has the ability to dismantle the rhythm of any given opposition. While Mertens failed to convert any of the five break points against Shnaider, Paolini is more clinical on the return of serve. She will look to force her Russian counterpart on the back foot by striking deep balls from the back of the court, and complete the attack with volleys or drive volleys.

Prediction: Jasmine Paolini in three sets.
