2.21Tip and bets
We believe that Samsonova will have a good chance of reaching the third round in this pair. Lyudmila has experience of defeating Baptiste. In terms of playing style, the American will not surprise the Russian tennis player in any way, as she acts in too many different ways. Samsonova is able not only to work more reliably than her opponent on the back line, but also to offer her a high tempo when exchanging punches, which Hayley is unlikely to support at a distance.
Our betting tip is that Samsonova will win with a coefficient of 1.72
