LiontipsLiudmila Samsonova vs Madison Keys. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Adelaide
Command Analysis
At the end of 2021 Liudmila Samsonova secured a spot in Top-50. She managed to win her maiden WTA title at Berlin tournament. In the quarter-final of that competition Russian player won a match over Madison Keys in three sets (7:6, 2:6, 7:6).
Start of 2022 year is not going great for Liudmila Samsonova. At the first tournament in Melbourne a World No. 39 player failed to beat Petkovic (3:6, 6:7). A first match at Adelaide against Sherif was also not easy for Samsonova (7:6, 6:4). But in the second round Russian player recorded a confident victory over Parrizas Dias (6:2, 6:1).
Madison Keys is not looking so impressive recently, she dropped to the 87th position in the WTA rankings. American player surely wants to improve her result and so far she is looking great in Australia.
At the first tournament in Melbourne, Keys reached the second round and suffered a defeat to Kasatkina (6:7, 6:2, 3:6). Keys recorded confident victories at Adelaide over Svitolina (6:2, 6:4) and Martincova (6:1, 6:3). A former World No. 7 improves her form little by little and now it will be difficult to stop her.
