Belinda Bencic had a terrible French Open 2021. She was knocked out in the second round in straight sets by Daria Kasatkina. However, she has been in outstanding touch in the Bett1Open 2021 and is expected to win the finals as well.

Samsonova at the same time is expected to give a tough fight in the finals. She has defeated several highly-rated players to make her way into the finals. This is expected to be a nail-biting final which can go either way. However, the odds are slightly in the favor of Bencic.

Prediction: Belinda Bencic to win in 3 sets.
