Liudmila Samsonoiva will be up against Antonia Ruzic in the first round at WTA Stuttgart. The two meet for the first time, looking to recover from losing runs. Read on for our prediction of the match, with the winner set to take on second seed Cori Gauff.
Ruzic is making her Stuttgart debut and hopes to avoid a fourth defeat in the first round. Her highlight this season was reaching the semifinal in Hobart while she also graced the last eight in Dubai.
She lost in the first round in Miami before heading to the Billie Jean King Cup. The Croat, seeking her first tour title, is placed 56th in the live rankings.
Samsonova is going for her sixth main draw title while looking to improve on her semifinal best here in Stuttgart. She made it to the last four here in 2022, signaling a big improvement on her second appearance.
However, in the three seasons that followed, the Russian failed to progress past the opening round. While this season she has two quarter-final showings, Samsonova has suffered a lot in the opening rounds.
Last week in Linz, she was beaten in the second round by Lilli Tagger, her sixth straight defeat. This run has her placed 20th in the live rankings.

Our Antonia Ruzic vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction
Neither Ruzic nor Samsonova is having a great season so far. Samsonova is on a long losing streak, though she holds an edge over Ruzic, who is less experienced. Seven first-round defeats in nine tournaments threaten to wipe Samsonova’s advantage here. Her latest 0-3 run in Stuttgart doesn’t help.
Ruzic has beaten three top-30 players and will want to add this opponent to that list. She hasn’t had all going her way, though, and a few struggles will be expected here. In both players’ forms, our prediction for Antonia Ruzic v Liudmila Samsonova is for the match to have more than 2.5 sets.
