Liudmila Samsonova’s quest for another Washington title progresses to the quarter-finals, where she is set to meet Diana Shnaider. The two get to face off for the fourth time in their careers. Four wins in her last five matches have Samsonova confident here, but our prediction backs over 2.5 sets.

Shnaider has had an on-and-off campaign so far but had a satisfactory opening with a straight-set win over Anastasia Potapova. The Russian skipped her way through with relative ease, only losing three games.

She won her only match against Samsonova on a hardcourt in Toronto in 2024 and will hope to keep her dominance in this fixture. A semi-finalist at Roland Garros this year, Shnaider is currently 17th in the live ranking.

Samsonova won the most recent meeting with Shnaider, which happened to be in the second round at Wimbledon. The two meet almost a month later, Samsonova looking to tie the head-to-head numbers in this matchup.

If pedigree in this tournament comes into play, Samsonova carries the day, holding a 10-2 record at Washington. She is a former winner here too, having clinched the 2022 title and has only once failed to reach the quarter-finals.

To get here, Samsonova saw off Xinyu Wang in straight sets. Gunning for her first semi-final of the season, Samsonova comes here placed 53rd in the live ranking.
