LiontipsElena Rybakina vs Liudmila Samsonova. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Tokyo
Command Analysis
After winning a Wimbledon title, Rybakina is unable to achieve success on tour. Quarter-final of Cincinnati tournament and the final of recent Portoroz competition are decent results, but Rybakina suffered a devastating first round defeat at US Open by Clara Burel (4:6, 4:6).
Worth mentioning that Rybakina's run to the final of Slovenian tournament started with victory over Siegemund by the narrowest possible margin (6:7, 6:4, 7:6). Elena lost the final match to Siniakova, putting up an underwhelming performance (7:6, 6:7, 4:6).
Liudmila Samsonova got off to a slow start of the season, but finally managed to gain momentum at American hard tournament, putting up a satisfying performance.
Liudmila won 13 matches in a row, claiming titles of Washington and Cleveland tournaments. Samsonova's impressive winning streak was interrupted by Ajla Tomljanovic in the US Open round of 16 (6:7, 1:6). After that defeat, Russian player didn't play a single match on tour.
Tip and bets
Rybakina wasted much energy for Portoroz tournament, but failed to win a title, losing the final match to Siniakova. Samsonova took a pause after American tournaments and prepared herself for the start of Tokyo competition. Liudmila won the only head-to-head match against Rybakina. We are expecting another win from Samsonova.
