LiontipsLudmila Samsonova vs Magda Linette. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Cincinnati
Command Analysis
Current form
Samsonova is playing her third Harl tournament and has gradually gotten into the swing of things. She has gained confidence in her own abilities. If in Washington, Lyudmila lost to Badosa at the start, retiring after the first set, then in Toronto she made it to the quarterfinals. At the start in Cincinnati, the Russian tennis player beat Wae Xin Yu in two sets (6-4, 6-4). Her first serve was not flying (only 42% of the hits), but at the same time, the tennis player was very reliable on the first ball - 76% of the points won.
Professional qualities
Due to her anthropometric data (height 182 cm), Samsonova serves powerfully and hits a forehand. True, she often needs time at certain tournaments to “get used to” the court and serve with first ball accuracy at least closer to 60%.
Current indicators in the tour
Samsonova frankly failed the first half of the season, having only made the semi-final in Abu Dhabi. In the summer, Lyudmila "shot" on grass in 's-Hertogenbosch, where she won the title. On hard courts, her performance during the season is quite modest for the 17th racket in the world - only seven wins in 17 matches played.
Interesting facts for betting
Samsonova won two of her last three victories on the tour with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
In the Russian tennis player's two previous matches, more than nine games were played in the first set
Current form
Linette switched to hard courts in Toronto last week after the Olympics. Magda didn't do anything special there - she beat Marino and lost to Navarro without a chance (2-6, 4-6). In Cincinnati, the Polish tennis player won a tough battle against Katie Boulter (2-6, 6-0, 7-5), without showing a consistent game.
Professional qualities
Linette has a solid serve and a powerful forehand, but her weak point is her return. When her serve isn't flying, Magda frankly fails her matches.
Current indicators in the tour
In the world ranking, the Polish tennis player occupies a modest 43rd place. She demonstrated her best results this season on clay, while on hard she has negative statistics - five wins and ten losses.
Interesting facts for betting
In only one of her last six matches has Linette traded winning sets with her opponents
In two personal meetings, Magda did not score more than four games in any of the sets.

This scenario had played out in three of Lynette's five previous matches.
2.21Tip and bets
Samsonova has already received the necessary amount of game practice on hard, has warmed up, and a match is ahead against a comfortable opponent, whom the Russian has beaten twice in her career on hard and clay. Linette does not have the most impressive reception, which can significantly simplify the task for Lyudmila. We do not expect a sensation in this pair.
Our prediction is Samsonova's victory with odds of 1.53
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, it is worth starting from personal meetings. In two matches played, more than 19 games were not played. If Lyudmila is playing well, then she most often quickly and confidently "closes" her opponents.
The second bet is total under 22 games for 1.79
Bet on the first set
Linett's three previous matches have seen the opening set go no more than nine games. We don't expect that streak to end today.
Betting Tip - total games in the first set under 9.5 with odds of 1.74
