This Saturday should be a great day of tennis in the Hungarian capital.<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Budapest Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Anna Karolina Schmiedlova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Sasnovich 6-1 Schmiedlova<\/p>\n<p>Schmiedlova has won all her matches in the deciding set this week, coming from a set down on two occasions. That will surely give her come confidence ahead of this match, but she&#8217;s facing quite a difficult matchup here. Not only does Sasnovich lead the head-to-head 6-1, including 4-0 on clay, but she is having a really good week here, where she even knocked out the #2 seed Tomova. Their most recent meeting was this year in Rome, with Sasnovich win in two sets, 6-2 7-6. While Schmiedlova has some chances here, the most probable outcome is yet another Sasnovich victory.<br \/>\n<strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Sasnovich in 3<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Ei4QfWvwSe5F3Y4gLOEbJw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1919115815\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Ei4QfWvwSe5F3Y4gLOEbJw',sig:'U92EdlI-Qw-TrLIXQZYya_ElAXXhw2CL4uCAD9Htln0=',w:'594px',h:'431px',items:'1919115815',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Diana Shnaider vs Eva Lys<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Shnaider has been living up to her status as the #1 seed and clear tournament favorite, making mostly easy work of her draw so far. She&#8217;s already guaranteed a career high ranking of #25 next week, but she could go all the way up to #23 if she wins the title here, which she looks very likely to. Her semifinal opponent is not only over 100 spots below her in the ranking, but she also has a very long and intense quarterfinal match, decided in the third set tiebreak, to make it to this stage. While Lys will surely be motivated, any outcome other than a relatively comfortable Shnaider win would be quite a surprise here.<br \/>\n<strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Shnaider in 2<\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170472&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday at the WTA tournament in Budapest will see the semifinals being played. #1 seed and world #28 Diana Shnaider is the clear favorite to the title, especially as two of the remaining players in the draw are ranked outside the Top 100 and the other one is #79, but those three will surely give [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1742,"featured_media":70079,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[888,15723,5320,15686,18504,18505,17899,17900,16283,16284,2374,4935],"class_list":["post-70310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-predictions","tag-aliaksandra-sasnovich","tag-aliaksandra-sasnovich-predictions","tag-anna-karolina-schmiedlova","tag-anna-karolina-schmiedlova-predictions","tag-diana-shnaider","tag-diana-shnaider-predictions","tag-eva-lys","tag-eva-lys-predictions","tag-wta-budapest-predictions","tag-wta-hungarian-grand-prix-predictions","tag-wta-picks","tag-wta-predictions"],"modified_by":"Yesh Ginsburg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1742"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
