Diana Parry - Lyudmila Samsonova: betting tip for the WTA Strasbourg match

Current form

Since the beginning of the year, Parry has not been able to win a single victory in five tournaments. It was only in Madrid that she made herself known, not only went through two rounds of qualifying, but also overcame running resistance in the first round of the main draw. At the same time, she failed to further develop her success. In Strasbourg, in the first round, Diana beat Fernandez in a hard-fought fight (7-5, 7-6).

Professional qualities

Diana is a fairly straightforward tennis player, and relies most on strong flat punches. She can't keep up a high tempo against serious rivals, she starts making a lot of mistakes. Her submission is not particularly difficult to receive.

Lyudmila dealt with her very confidently in the first set, but in the second game she did not allow her to fully return to the game (6-1, 7-5).
