Tip and bets
Even before her recent success, at the start of the year Liudmila Samsonova recorded a victory over Misaki Doi in the qualification for Adelaide tournament (7:6, 6:3). Moreover, Samsonova will play on her favourite surface. She looks very confident indoors due to her great serve. In our prediction we are expecting a victory from the Russian player.
