Liudmila Samsonova vs Katerina Siniakova prediction
Liudmila Samsonova has made a poor start to her grass court season. She was defeated by wildcard Harriet Dart in the opening round of Queen’s Club, and her woes continued at the German Open as she lost to Elise Mertens in round one. Samsonova comfortably led after the first set, but Mertens recovered to win 1-6 6-3 6-0. She has lost her last five matches overall.
She will hope for her first win of the season on grass against Katerina Siniakova. The Czech player qualified for the event in Berlin and picked up a win in the first-round against Rebeka Masarova. Siniakova was then defeated by third seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets.
Siniakova leads the head-to-head 2-1 and 2-0 on grass. They have played each at this event in 2023 and 2024, with the Czech winning on both occasions. This record, coupled with Samsonova’s poor form, may just tip the balance in Siniakova’s favour.
