Key factors

- The set and game stats suggest a straight-sets shutout is unlikely.
Expected scenario
This should be a competitive match - a fight expected in nearly every set, with a third set rated as a moderate possibility. The individual total line doesn't require an outright win from the Russian player - even in defeat, she can take the required number of games through consistent scoring across all sets.
β Editor's Pick
Samsonova's strong form is backed by solid game-winning numbers even against tough opponents. Her set and rally stats point to a low risk of a complete collapse regardless of the final result. And it's worth repeating: KrejΔΓkovΓ‘ is only just starting her North American swing and hasn't found her rhythm yet. The bet - Liudmila Samsonova individual total over 11.5 games.
