Liudmila Samsonova vs Elena Rybakina: Match Preview
Samsonova’s season has been average because early exits have dominated it. She has, however, turned things around in the National Bank Open, where she has dried out higher-ranking players. In her run to the semifinals, she even deafened Bencic, whom she lost to in the finals of the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open. She has yet to win her first title of the season, so this could be the ideal opportunity.
Rybakina, on the other hand, had a difficult start to the year. But after that, she turned her losses into victories, reaching four finals and winning two of them. She has defeated higher-ranked players and is on track to win her next tournament and become World No.3.
