Liudmila Samsonova vs Marketa Vondrousova prediction

Marketa Vondrousova is keen to stop the rot in Adelaide.

The former Wimbledon champion reached the quarter-finals at the US Open but has lost on her last four outings, including her season’s opener in Brisbane.

Next up, the world number 34 meets Liudmila Samsonova for the fourth time after the Russian kicked off her campaign with a push to the Brisbane last eight.

Vondrousova leads the head-to-head 2-1 and has won both matches played on a hardcourt.

The Czech is a match for anyone when at her best, but given her recent troubles and Samsonova’s bright start, it may well be a war of attrition.
