Liudmila Samsonova goes on the quest for another WTA Washington title when she meets sixth seed Madison Keys in the first round. This marks the seventh time the two are locking horns, and Samsonova’s struggles have our prediction going Keys’ way.
Samsonova will hope returning to an event she has a strong history in provides her the inspiration she needs for a strong week. A champion in DC four years ago, Samsonova has made it to at least the semis here twice.
The Russian is back for her fourth appearance and is ending a three-week break. Her last appearance on the court was at Wimbledon, where she reached the third round.
A former world number 12, Samsonova has compiled a 10-17 record and dropped to 73rd in the world rankings.
Madison Keys will start a new week as the world number 22. The former top 10 player will end the week inside the top 20 if she makes it to at least the semis.
A quarter-finalist in her last appearance in DC, Keys will be confident of at least winning this opening round due to her dominance in this fixture. The American has won five straight meetings with Samsonova, with three of those victories being registered on hard courts.
Keys is also putting an end to a three-week break from the tour, with her last appearance being a fourth-round performance at Wimbledon.
