Krejcikova in Good Form
Barbora Krejcikova is firing on all cylinders as she now sets her sights on emulating positive results on clay courts.
On the singles side, she is ranked #12 with a record of 16-7. Her notable feat came in Dubai, where she won the trophy after beating a litany of big names like Daria Kasatkina, Petra Kvitova, Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula, and world number one Iga Swiatek. Krejcikova followed that with consecutive round-of-16 stints in Indian Wells and Miami.
On the doubles, she is No. 2 with remarkable stats of 12-1 – courtesy of doubles titles in the Australian Open and Indian Wells Open.
No matter how we look at it, Barbora is coming in with a fair bit of rhythm and given her experience, she should be confident of her chances with Samsonova.

Samsonova, Struggling a Bit
Liudmila Samsonova of Russia finds herself struggling with form. She is 8-8 in 2023, with her best result standing as her runner-up accomplishment in Abu Dhabi.
Since then, the 24-year-old has made it as far as the third round in Dubai and Miami. In Indian Wells and Doha, she was beaten rather early on by Sofia Kenin and Bernarda Pera. Amidst this, Liudmila did win the doubles title in Dubai with Veronika Kudermetova.
Her problems are likely to increase on clay, considering that historically, this hasn’t been a surface where she is at her best. Last year, she was 3-4, while the season before, she clocked 6-9.
That said, Samsonova did reach the semifinal in Stuttgart last time – beating Chloe Paquet, Karolina Pliskova, and Laura Siegemund en route. Of course, it may not be the case this time, given the tricky start she has been handed.
Krejcikova v Samsonova Prediction and Tip
Krejcikova should come out on top in this one. She has the experience, form, and exposure needed to win against a struggling Samsonova. Of course, it may not be a walk in the park as the Russian is capable of putting up a fight.
