Our tip: Siniakova K. – Samsonova L.: 1

25.06.2024 17:30

The last time Kateryna Siniakova played Lyudmila Samsonova on grass, she won last year. It was in Bad Homburg, where she won the title last year, and where this year she started her journey to defend it with a win over France’s Clara Burel.

Siniakova has already put in a great performance in Berlin, where last week she made it through from the qualifying round to the quarter-finals, where she fell to world number five Jessica Pegula. Although this close defeat in three sets may have been disappointing, she was full of determination and immediately moved on to the next event, which last year brought her many happy moments. Although she wasn’t quite sovereign in the first round against Burel, she eventually took full control of the reins in the third set and declassed her opponent 6-1.

Samsonova also opened the grass part of the season in Berlin, but there she finished in the first round. In Bad Homburg, the world No. 15 faced clay player Sara Sorribes Torm in the opening round, whom she outplayed as expected 6:3, 6:1. Siniakova, however, will be a slightly different nut to crack.

What to bet on:

Siniakova got into form in Berlin, which she intends to turn into a title defence in Bad Homburg. She may not have an easy draw and will be a paper underdog, but her performances suggest she can easily beat Samsonova.

Confidence:

6/10
