IGA SWIATEK VS LIUDMILA SAMSONOVA PREDICTION

Liudmila Samsonova dropped just two games in her 6-1, 6-1 beating of Ashlyn Krueger last time out, underlining the quality of Iga Swiatek’s opponent here. However, Swiatek represents by far the toughest test that Samsonova has faced across this tournament so far. Battle-hardened and one of the best in the world on this surface, Swiatek looks well-placed for another potential grand slam triumph should she step up a gear leading into the business end of the competition.

Having watched Coco Gauff be knocked out of the women’s singles, that is likely to serve as even more motivation for Swiatek and her class may well end up telling over the course of this one. Back the world number one to get past Samsonova in straight sets.
