LiontipsZheng Qinwen vs Liudmila Samsonova. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Tokyo
Command Analysis
Best Chinese player, Zheng Qinwen, reached the final of Tokyo tournament. It is a wonderful achievement for the 19-year old athlete, especially since she had a number of strong opponents on her way to the final.
Zheng Qinwen didn't lose a single set until the semi-final. She managed to beat Paula Badosa (6:3, 6:2) and Claire Liu (6:4, 7:5). However, the semi-final match against Veronika Kudermetova turned out to be a tough challenge for the China representative. Opponents played for three hours, Qinwen won the match on a decisive tiebreak (5:7, 6:3, 7:6).
Liudmila Samsonova is playing much better in the second half of the season. Russian player put up a great performance in American hard tournaments, winning the trophies at Washington and Cleveland. Her form hasn't dropped since then and now we see the World No. 30 player in the final of Tokyo tournament.
In four matches Samsonova didn't lose a single set to her opponents. She secured victories over Rybakina (6:2, 6:4) in the first round and over Muguruza in the quarter-final (6:4, 6:2). In the semi-final Liudmila managed to beat an experienced Chinese player, Zhang Shuai (7:6, 6:2).

Tip and bets
Opponents had only one head-to-head match. One year ago, Chinese player secured a victory in Palermo, on clay surface. We are expecting another result today. Samsonova is more efficient on faster courts due to her excellent serve. Zheng Qinwen put up a terrible serving performance in the match against Kudermetova. She is unlikely to beat Samsonova today.
Our prediction - Samsonova to win the match
No one has a significant advantage on class here. Opponents are fighting for the title and a solid amount of prize money. We will probably see more than 21 games played.
Our second bet is on total over 21 games
