Jasmine Paolini vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction: We Believe in Liudmila's Success

Prediction for the WTA Australian Open match, which will take place on January 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The 27-year-old played three matches in the new season, one in Adelaide, where she lost to Hungary's Bondar, and two in Hobart: a two-set win over Belgium's Tig and a 2-6, 1-6 loss to her compatriot, Cocciaretto. If Paolini could only take three games in two sets, we wonder if Jasmine has a real chance of beating Samsonova.

But Samsonova's current tonus also raises questions. In her first tournament in Adelaide, Liudmila knocked out Zhang Shuai but lost to Aryna Sabalenka in two sets. In her second tournament, Samsonova was already out of the running after the first round, giving up in two sets to No. 27 Amanda Anisimova, 5-7, 3-6. At the Australian, Open Liudmila never made it after the second round.

Samsonova is much stronger than her opponent, which their current ranking proves. If Paolini were in good shape, she would have fought Liudmila, but Jasmine only won three games against Cocharetto. Despite the weak results of Liudmila at the beginning of the season, we expect her confident victory in the AO first round.
