Our Xinyu Wang vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction
The Difference Maker: Liudmila Samsonova just defeated an in-form Madison Keys, who reached the fourth round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open.
It has been an up-and-down season for the Russian, but if Samsonova can deliver the quality she displayed against Keys, she will be in good shape to advance to the next round.
What to Expect: Samsonova fends off a strong start from Wang before blowing out the Chinese in the second frame. Samsonova would be a solid pick to win by at least four games against Wang, who got tested by a player outside the top 300 in the previous round.
Fearless Forecast: Liudmila Samsonova wins 6-4, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Liudmila Samsonova vs. Xinyu Wang: Liudmila Samsonova -3.5 Games
