Having previously reached the final of this event, doing so in 2023, Liudmila Samsonova will be looking to enjoy herself this week, and she's made a promising start by beating the higher-ranked Janice Tjen in straight sets during the first round. She's now up against another higher-ranked player in Barbora Krejcikova, who is a very decent player on her day, but she's yet to play at this event, while she enters the tournament off the back of a confidence-sapping defeat in Prague recently.
Should Barbora Krejcikova really be the favorite ahead of this clash? Well, she is the higher-ranked player right now, so there is that, but if we scratch beneath the surface a little, it's not too difficult to conclude that the Russian is a little too leniently priced. Let's not forget that she's previously reached the final of this event, while her promising hard-court record against Wednesday's Czech opponent is hard to ignore.

Our Liudmila Samsonova vs Barbora Krejcikova Prediction
Not only does Liudmila Samsonova have a very strong hard-court record against Barbora Krejcikova, winning each of her previous matches against the Czech player in straight sets, but she also has the advantage of having played a match in Toronto already, which means she's likely better adjusted to the conditions. These two facts are not easy to overlook, especially when the Russian is priced at odds of +130, which really do look too big. Such odds will likely shorten, so if you're of the opinion that Samsonova has a stronger chance of winning than the early market suggests, get in nice and early.
