Command Analysis

Liudmila Samsonova

Current form
Samsonova did not shine in recent tournaments, more often than not she overcame one round and sheathed her racket. In Indian Wells, Lyudmila managed to break a bad streak and won two matches in a row. Both matches were fought. First, in two sets, the Russian defeated McNally (7-6, 6-4), and then in three games she snatched victory from compatriot Kasatkina (2-6, 6-3, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Lyudmila relies on a strong first serve and powerful punches with both hands in her game. When a Russian woman is in shape, such power tennis brings her success, although she does not demonstrate stable play on the back line, even being in optimal playing conditions.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Lyudmila can only take advantage of the tournament in Adelaide, where she managed to reach the semifinals. In total, she played 14 matches this season, in which she won eight and suffered six defeats. Samsonova is currently ranked 25th in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- Samsonova has played tiebreakers in three of her last seven matches on the tour.
- In two of Lyudmila's three previous matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.

Jasmine Paolini

Current form
Paolini, like her upcoming opponent, did not have much success before the start at Indian Wells, most often she went through one round and sheathed her racket. For the first time in a long time, Jasmine won two victories at once on the local courts. Her opponents weren't the most difficult, but she had to play three sets each against both Jovic (7-6, 1-6, 6-3) and Christian (6-4, 3-6, 6-4).
Professional qualities
Paolini does not have excellent anthropometric data to play from a position of strength. Jasmine relies in her game on reliable actions on the back line, on good reception. At the same time, at the right moments, she is able to clearly complete the attack, take advantage of the mistakes of her rivals.
Current indicators in the tour
The Italian tennis player has played 12 matches on the tour since the beginning of the year, in which she won eight and suffered four defeats. She is ranked sixth in the world rankings and has already completed her main task at Indian Wells - she defended her ranking points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year.
Interesting facts for betting
- Paolini played three sets in two matches at the tournament.
- In three personal meetings, Jasmina lost to Samsonova.

2.14Tip and bets
Paolini had an easy tournament grid, but she did not show a stable game in the confrontations with Jovic and Christian, achieved victories largely based on experience. It is unlikely that Jasmine will be able to cope with the attacking Samsonova, who outplayed Kasatkina the day before and has never lost to the Italian in her career. We believe that Lyudmila will have excellent chances to reach the quarterfinals at Indian Wells for the first time in her career.
