THE PREDICTION
Former number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova came back from a set down to beat Liudmila Samsonova in the second round of Roland-Garros last summer but this second encounter on hardcourts better-suits her fellow Russian. World number 15 Samsonova started 2024 in concerning form but she burst into life at the Abu Dhabi Open two weeks ago, enjoying a run to the semi-finals before a three-set defeat to eventual champion Elena Rybakina. A straight-sets victory over Viktoriya Tomova on Monday came tighter than it should have but the 25-year-old often brings her best level to the better players on tour and world number 24 Pavlyuchenkova fits that bill this season. The 32-year-old beat Marie Bouzkova in straight sets on Monday to build on her excellent run to the semi-finals of the Qatar Masters last week, where she beat the likes of Danielle Collins and Daria Kasatkina before defeat to Rybakina. Given their previous meeting, back Pavlyuchenkova to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN A SET
