Belinda Bencic vs Nastasja Schunk: Match Preview
Bencic has not been in the best of forms this year. Her best result was the Final appearance at the Adelaide International where she lost to Iga Swiatek. Since then it has gone from bad to worse for Bencic. She has consistently been ousted in the first or second round of tournaments. Her last appearance was at the round of thirty-two against Paula Badosa on the green clay courts of Charlton.
A change of surface from hard courts to clay courts failed to change the fortunes of Bencic as she lost in three sets 2-6 7-6 1-6. In the first round of the Stuttgart Open, Bencic will play German Qualifier the seventeen year old Nastasja Schunk in the first round.
Schunk defeated Daniela Seguel and Noma Noha Akugue in the qualifying rounds to make it to the main draw of this competition, making it her WTA main draw debut. Because before this, the German had played most of her tennis on the ITF circuit and is yet to win a title even there.

Belinda Bencic vs Nastasja Schunk: Prediction
Bencic will look to record a convincing win against this relatively unknown youngster, but will she be able to do it? In 2019 Bencic had a great season on clay, and she will hope a good win here sets her on a similar path in 2021. If the youngster can get anything from this match, it will hold her in good stead for the future.
Match Prediction: Belinda Bencic will beat Nastasja Schunk in straight sets.
