Ekaterina Alexandrova v Liudmilla Samsonova Head to Head
This is their second meeting having first played in Berlin earlier this year. Alexandrova had won that grass-court competition match in straight sets.

Samsonova Crushes Maria
That Samsonova was a huge favourite (1/3 with bet365) coming into her opener here against Tatjana Maria wasn’t much of a surprise but not too many expected the match to go the way it did in the end.
Samsonova needed a mere 63 minutes for her 6-0, 6-2 rout of Maria as she overcame Maria’s serve on a whopping five occasions in the encounter. On the other hand, Samsonova faced two break-points and saved both of them.
This was Samsonova’s first match since having made the third round at the US Open where she fell to Madison Keys. A finalist at the Montreal Open before that, Samsonova will now hope she can climb back to her career-best ranking of 12th in the world as she tries to finish the season on a high.
Not surprisingly, Samsonova won’t have it easy here as she starts off 10/11 with bet365 for her victory.

Alexandrova Scrapes Past Kalinskaya
Alexandrova’s form has been a bit patchy in recent times and that was on display in her first round win over fellow Russian Anna Kalinskaya.
The world number 21 needed two hours and 23 minutes to carve out a win over Kalinskaya, with the two locked in a gruelling battle that saw them tied at five games all in the final set at one stage.
Three break-points later, Alexandrova had finally gotten the lead and then served it out in the 12th game of the set to clinch her second round berth.
Earlier in the match, Alexandrova had lost her serve three times in the first three service games before Kalinskaya sealed the lead in the tie-breaker. Alexandrova looked to have turned things around in the second set with two breaks of serves going her way but then struggled to get past Kalinskaya in the third.
Alexandrova is also 10/11 to win this (at bet365) second round encounter.
Alexandrova v Samsonova Prediction and Tip
There isn’t too much between Alexandrova and Samsonova at this stage. Both players have had a bit of a lull in their winning ways and will hope to turn things around towards the end of this season. Backing a three-setter or a longish two-set match again.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with 888Sport)
