Antonia Ruzic vs Liudmila Samsonova prediction
There have already been some highlights for Antonia Ruzic this season, as she reached the semi-finals of the Hobart International right at the start of the year. She also impressed at WTA 1000 level in Dubai, making it through to the last eight. The Croatian last competed in Miami but lost in the first-round to Elena-Gabriela Ruse.
Ruzic goes up against Liudmila Samsonova in the first-round. Her best result of the season was a quarter-final appearance in Abu Dhabi, where she lost to Hailey Baptiste. However, she is yet to win a match since then, losing her last six. Despite numerous opportunities in the second set against Lilli Tagger in Linz last week, Samsonova would lose again.
Her form is a concern, and Ruzic is certainly worth a set in this first-round match. If she is able to extend the points, she could force errors from Samsonova, who is likely to be low on confidence after a poor run.
