10-1 in second-round matches this year, Elina Svitolina targets a straight-set victory over Liudmila Samsonova in the second round of the 2026 Bad Homburg Open.
Current Form:
World’s No.8 Elina Svitolina will be competing in her second grass-court tournament at Bad Homburg, hoping she can deliver a confidence-boosting campaign before the hostilities at the All-England Club. In her first grass tournament in Berlin, Svitolina posted clinical wins over Anna Kalinskaya 6-4, 4-1 and Eva Lys 6-3, 6-2 before falling to the giant-killing Alexandra Eala 3-6, 4-6 in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Liudmila Samsonova ended a four-match losing streak with a straightforward win over Katerina Siniakova 6-3, 7-5. Samsonova sports a respectable 36-19 record on grass, but she hasn’t delivered desirable results this season. The Russian is 8-15 across all surfaces and 0-2 vs. top-10 players this season.
Armed with potent first serves and penetrating forehands, Samsonova always has the tools to thrive on grass. However, Samsonova’s difficulty in matching up the level of elite competition this year remains a major hurdle.

Our Liudmila Samsonova vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Elina Svitolina rolls into the quarterfinals with a sweep over Liudmila Samsonova, 6-2, 6-4
Svitolina should breeze past a struggling Samsonova in their first encounter on the tour.
Svitolina arrived in Bad Homburg eager to stage a deep run and put the quarterfinal loss to Alexandra Eala in Berlin behind her.
The Ukrainian won 70 percent of her first serves and saved 13 of 20 breakpoints, while converting 54.5 percent of 22 breakpoint chances across 3 grass-court matches in Berlin.
Svitolina’s efficiency on both sides of the ball will present a myriad of problems for Samsonova, who is only winning 63 percent of her first serves and saving only 50 percent of breakpoints this year.
Samsonova must raise her level of play on all fronts if she wants to steal at least a set against Ukraine’s No.1 player.
