This time, it took only two matches for Danielle to get out. In each of them, she did not show a stable game, but still beat Kenin (6-1, 1-6, 6-2) and Radukana (4-6, 6-1, 6-3). Collins did not play the quarterfinals, as her opponent, Kalinskaya, withdrew from the match.

Samsonova could not show anything on the ground for a long time, but in Strasbourg she gained the necessary shape, and most importantly, gained self-confidence. It's important for Lyudmila to win a few matches and catch the right wave.

In many ways, due to this, she coped with Badosa the day before.

2.21Tip and bets
In our opinion, bookmakers somewhat underestimate Samsonova's capabilities. Here and now Lyudmila has reached the peak of her form, a victory over Badosa will definitely give her confidence in herself and in her abilities. Collins was not very stable in her fights with Kenin and Raducanu, she played with fluctuations, which is not to say that the American is currently at her peak. We think the game will turn out to be largely equal, and taking into account the coefficients set, we recommend betting on a Russian tennis player.
Our betting tip is that Samsonova will win with a handicap of (+3) games with a coefficient of 1.81

A ticket to the finals is at stake, and obviously no one is planning to give up the game for nothing, even considering that the start at Roland Garros is ahead.

In three of Samsonova's previous five matches, more than nine games were played in the second game. We expect this time that it will be in the second set that we will see the tightest fight.
