THE PREDICTION
The WTA tour is an incredibly hard thing to predict right now and world number 106 Ludmilla Samsonova’s run from the qualifiers through to the semi-finals of the German Open is no exception but the Russian’s 7-0 deciding tiebreak over Madison Keys yesterday was truly exceptional. 22-year-old Samsonova has earned possibly the biggest match of her career so far against former world number one Victoria Azarenka here in what should be a thrilling first meeting between the two and the current world number 16 will do well not to underestimate the challenge. 31-year-old Azarenka is at home on grass and came through a tough three-set slog with Jessica Pegula on Friday to reach the last four as the slight favourite for the title now. Azarenka gives everything all the time and should not be shocked by Samsonova here, though the Russian has played well enough to suggest an outright win for Azarenka is the best call.
