Diana Shnaider endured a lacklustre European swing and couldn’t replicate her doubles’ success in singles’ category. The Russian ace didn’t cross the quarterfinal stage in the singles. In her previous two quarterfinal matches, she lost to Keys at Queen’s Club and Polini in Italian Open. Meanwhile, she has won two doubles trophies in 2025, including Miami Open. With a 19-18 record in singles, the 21-year-old needs to bring her best version to crack the opening round in Queen’s City.

There is no H2H record between Diana Shnaider and Victoria Mboko as it will be their first meeting on the WTA tour.
| Victoria Mboko | Category | Diana Shnaider |
| 24 | Current Ranking | 12 |
| 121-47 | Career W-L | 166–81 |
| 53-9 | YTD W-L | 19-18 |
| 1 | Career Titles | 4 |
| 0 | Grand Slams | 0 |
| 1 | YTD Titles | 1 |
Diana Shnaider is a solid left-handed player, who can generate on serve and counter Mboko with her mental toughness. Mboko won her semifinals and finals at Montreal after losing the opening set so she has the ability to drop comeback. Home support will be missed for the Canadian ace and Shnaider would like to grab this chance. This match result will be determined by who can adapt their court positions accordingly.
Prediction: Diana Shnaider to win in three sets.
At 5/4, Shnaider is the clear favorite considering her experience. Mboko offers value at 20/29, and her recent win in Montreal makes the upset likely.
