Xinyu Wang vs Liudmila Samsonova prediction
Liudmila Samsonova defeated Madison Keys for the first time on hardcourts to pull off a major shock in Washington.
The Russian defeated the big home hope and sixth seed 3-6 6-4 6-4.
The world number 46 will now lock horns with Xinyu Wang who had a more straight-forward 7-6 6-3 success over 17-year-old American Julieta Pareja.
Samsonova leads this head-to-head 2-1 and has won both matches on hardcourts without dropping a set.
Wang did win their most recent tussles on grass last year, but given the surface and euphoria of defeating Keys, it’s a tough call to go against Liudmila.
Xinyu Wang vs Liudmila Samsonova tip: Liudmila Samsonova to win 2-0
