A massive moneyline favorite at -575, Aryna Sabalenka shoots for her 9th straight win on Thursday against No.16 seed Liudmila Samsonova of Russia in the third round of the 2025 Wuhan Open.
Current Form:
Sabalenka bounced back from a listless first set to score a come-from-behind win over Rebecca Sramkova 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the second round. Playing in her first tournament after winning the US Open three weeks ago, Sabalenka dropped the first set after allowing Sramkova to secure a double break three games into the match. Sabalenka regained her potent form, holding her remaining serves and breaking Sramkova four times in the last two sets. Sabalenka, the 2025 US Open champion, is now 8-0 in her last 8 matches.
Samsonova entered the round of 16 after surviving a three-setter against Sofia Kenin of the United States 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the second round. Samsonova won 22 points behind the first serves and broke five times to get the better of the former Australian Open winner. Samsonova is 14-13 on the hard court in 2025.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction
Aryna Sabalenka is 17-6 against the WTA top-20 players this season. The Belarusian is also 10-1 in third-round matches and 33-5 on the hard court this year. Samsonova has lost all four previous matches against the world’s No.1. The Russian also carries a mediocre 14-13 record on the hard court this year.
Fearless Forecast: Barring a shocking turn of events, I have Aryna Sabalenka winning 6-2, 6-4 against Samsonova. Samsonova has two career wins over Sabalenka, yet she’s not in tip-top form to match up well against the world’s No.1. Sabalenka obliterated Samsonova 6-3, 6-2 at the 2024 Cincinnati Open and 6-2, 6-3 at the 2025 Indian Wells Open.
