Samsonova Has Been Inconsistent This Year
World no. 15 Liudmila Samsonova will be making her second appearance in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Last year the Russian lost in the first round to Ann Li.
This year, she is 12-12 from all her matches, bringing a 4-4 record on clay and 8-8 on hard courts.
Samsonova’s best this year was a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi, where she lost to Belinda Bencic in the final.
However, the Russian has not been consistent enough this year. Barring the final in Abu Dhabi, she has not been able to make the quarterfinals of any of the other tournaments.
Samsonova , who is seeded number 2 in the tournament, most recently played at the French Open, winning her first round match, but falling in the second round to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
A four-time champion on the tour, Samsonova’s best season on grass was in 2021, when she won the Berlin Open title as a qualifier and also reached the fourth round in Wimbledon.
Can she replicate that grass court form in 2023?

The German player qualified for the main draw with a three-set win over Australia’s Taylah Preston in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
Papadakis bagelled the Aussie in just 22 minutes in the first set, but couldn’t close out the match soon as the Aussie fought back from a break down twice in the second set and then got a third break as well to take the second and force the decider.
In the final set, the 24-year-old German once again went up a break twice, but saw Preston pull those breaks back. However, Papadakis broke a third time to seal the match 6-0, 3-6, 6-4.
The German had beaten USA’s CoCo Vandeweghe in straight sets in the first qualifying round.
She is 15-17 across levels and will be playing her first main draw match on Monday.
