Partners turn rivals with a spot in the grand final up for grabs.
Doubles partners will face off in women’s singles action on Friday, as Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider contend for a spot in the final of the 2026 Adelaide International. The Russians will meet for the second time in their young careers, with the 18-year-old holding the advantage ahead of the clash. The winner of this encounter will take on either Victoria Mboko or Kimberly Birrell in Saturday’s summit clash.
After losing in the last eight at Brisbane, Mirra Andreeva has been ruthless in her last two match-ups. The No. 3 seed is yet to drop a set all week, and lost a total of just six games en route to the semifinal stage. Andreeva finished 2025 with two WTA-1000 titles and a career-high ranking of No. 5 in the world. A teen sensation who qualified for the season-ending championships in doubles, the Russian starlet has a career win-loss record of 151-51 so far.
Normally accompanying her on court, Diana Shnaider will aim to obstruct the title charge of her doubles partner in Adelaide. Shnaider has won five singles trophies on the professional circuit, and boasts two doubles championships alongside Andreeva as well. The 21-year-old has a 5-1 record in tour-level finals, including a championship run at the 2025 Monterrey Open in Mexico. Currently placed at No. 23 in the WTA Rankings, Shnaider defeated Leylah Fernandez, Katerina Siniakova and Emma Navarro to book her spot in the final four.
According to the tennis betting odds, Mirra Andreeva is the pre-match favorite on the moneyline at -200, via BetMGM. Diana Shnaider is a close second with odds of +163, via BetMGM.

Our Pick: Mirra Andreeva 2-0 at +105
Andreeva has found her rhythm in Adelaide, winning close to 75% first serve points and generating 18 break point opportunities across her last two encounters. With Shnaider becoming more erratic on her first serve when under pressure and as we go deeper into the draw, the two-time WTA-1000 champion could pounce.
The Playoffs News prediction is that Shnaider could potentially take this match into a deciding set or even force an upset. After all, she has won three out of five titles on this surface. Moreover, Shnaider’s best results at the majors have also come at the hard court Grand Slams. But all things considered in terms of the odds market, Andreeva winning 2-0 at +105 is a favorable bet.
Andreeva leads the head-to-head against Shnaider by 1-0. Coming face to face at the Brisbane International in 2024, the southpaw faced the relentless baseline attacks of the teenager. Despite her best efforts, Shnaider was defeated in straight sets.
