Paula Badosa v Liudmilla Samsonova Head to Head
There has been one previous meeting between these two players which came at the 2021 Australian Open and Samsonova had won that opening round encounter in three sets.

Badosa Returns after Early Doha Exit
Paula Badosa returned to competitive tennis at Doha after missing out on the Australian Open because of fitness concerns. She had earlier pulled out of the Adelaide International semifinal because of the same injury and then opted out of the season’s first major.
Her return proved to be a bit of a dampener but you could also attribute to the draw – playing Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round is hardly the kind of opponent you would have expected on a comeback.
The Spaniard did not last long in that opener, although she did put up a fight before going down 7-6 (6), 6-3 in the opening round.
Before this defeat, and before she was struck by that injury, Badosa had started the season off with four wins in a row. Unfortunately for her, she faces another tough opponent first up.

Samsonova Also Coming off Opening Doha Loss
It wasn’t just Badosa who lost her first round match in the Qatar Open last week. It was no different for Samsonova either.
The world number 15 was drawn to face the former Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin in her opener and despite going in as a 1/3 favourite to win the encounter, Samsonova fell in straight sets to her American opponent.
Kenin, who would go on to lose in the second round to Veronika Kudermetova, crushed Samsonova 6-3, 6-1 in that first round encounter.
Samsonova had earlier made the final of the Abu Dhabi Open where she lost in three fighting sets to Belinda Bencic. The season hadn’t, however, begun too well for Samsonova, who lost two of the five matches she played at the start.
Can she make it past Badosa here?
