Emerson Jones vs Liudmila Samsonova prediction
Emerson Jones got her season off to a great start as she beat Tatjana Maria in straight sets to advance in Brisbane. The 17-year-old was mostly in control, winning 6-3 6-3 after one hour and 15 minutes. She is at her highest ranking of 147 in the world. This was just her second WTA main draw win and her second win over a top 50 player.
She faces Liudmila Samsonova next. The world number 17 was unable to win a title last season, though did make the last eight at tournaments such as Indian Wells and Wimbledon. Her best overall result was a final in Strasbourg.
Jones received brilliant support in front of a home crowd in her last match and will need to replicate that display to have a chance against Samsonova. The Russian should be getting through this in straight sets.
