THE PREDICTION

Two players at the top of their respective careers right now meet for a fascinating round of 16 clash on Thursday. 23-year-old Liudmila Samsonova can break her current career-high WTA world ranking of 22nd if she wins here and Jelena Ostapenko loses her match to Veronika Kudermetova, with Samsonova passing a significant test on Wednesday in beating Aryna Sabalenka in three fierce sets. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Marie Bouzkova should set a new career-high of around 34th no matter the outcome here after two convincing straight-set wins over Tereza Martincova and Camila Osorio. Both players have won titles this season, Bouzkova claiming her first at the Prague Open and Samsonova her second, third and fourth in a serious run of form that makes her looks the fair favourite here. The pair have never met at tour-level but, whilst Bouzkova would prefer the match on clay, Samsonova should be favoured in these conditions in Guadalajara. Back the Russian to win outright.
