Liudmila Samsonova is set to face off with Elina Svitolina in the second round at Bad Homburg. A quarter-final berth awaits the winner of this first meeting between the two. Samsonova’s run of five defeats in her last six matches pushes our prediction more towards Svitolina.
Samsonova is marking a return to Bad Homburg after a two-year absence. She returned in style by dumping out a former champion, Katerina Siniakova.
The Russian achieved that in straight sets, and her confidence will be boosted as she meets an even tougher opponent. The five-time tour champion, however, hasn’t had much going her way lately, and she has an 8-15 record for the season. The 27-year-old is placed 44th in the live ranking.
Third seed Svitolina is well rested after a first-round bye. Her last act was in Berlin, where she lost in the quarter-finals to Alexandra Eala. The Ukrainian returns to action seeking her 36th win of the season.
Her last two events ended at the last eight stage, and here she will be looking to reach a ninth quarter-final of the season. Svitolina has already bagged two titles, in Auckland and Rome, and has only lost once in the second round this season – in Madrid.
Placed eighth in the live rank, Svitolina is on her third appearance here and looking to go past the second round for the first time.
