Samsonova – Ostapenko: forecast for the WTA Doha match
Lyudmila Samsonova and Elena Ostapenko scored two victories in four head-to-head matches, with the Russian tennis player winning the last two personal meetings. Who will be stronger on February 11 in Doha and qualify for the third round? – the answer is in our forecast. What are the best bets for the match?
Command Analysis
Liudmila Samsonova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Samsonova can only have one tournament to her credit. Lyudmila scored a semi-final in Adelaide. At the other starts, she did not go through the grid for more than one round. In Doha, however, the Russian tennis player confidently played a first-round match against Sun (6-3, 6-3) and made it to the second round for the first time in her career at these competitions.
Professional qualities
Samsonova plays in an attacking manner, likes to dictate her own terms of the game. A big role is played by the first serve, which is not always stable for Lyudmila.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Samsonova managed to play nine matches in the tour, in which she won five and suffered four defeats. She currently ranks 23rd in the world rankings, and her best career achievement is 12th.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last two head-to-head matches, Samsonova beat Ostapenko with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets.
- Samsonova has played two sets in three of her last four matches.
Jelena Ostapenko
LatviaCurrent form
Ostapenko is failing the start of the season. Before playing in Doha, Elena had played in four tournaments and won only one match. In Qatar, however, she started with a very confident victory over Ito (6-2, 6-1), taking advantage of the advantage in the class.
Professional qualities
Elena is a purely attacking tennis player, she never expects "gifts" from her rivals, she always aims to finish the draws with a straight punch, and she constantly takes unnecessary risks. When Ostapenko is in shape, it is difficult for any tennis player to cope with her super-aggressive game. On the other hand, when she's not in good shape, you can see complete failures.
Current indicators in the tour
Taking into account recent failures, Ostapenko occupies only 37th place in the world ranking, although her best career achievement is fifth position. Since the beginning of the year, Elena has won only two victories and suffered four defeats in the tour.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last three matches, Ostapenko played in two sets.
- In three of Elena's six matches since the beginning of the season, tiebreakers have been played.

1.51The Tiebreakbetin the match is yes
In three of Ostapenko's six matches this season, tiebreakers were played.
3.10Tip and bets
The bookmakers give the Latvian tennis player a slight advantage in this pair, although she hardly deserves it at the start of the season, with only two wins in six matches played. In addition, Samsonova beat the representative of Latvia in two previous face-to-face matches. We believe that Lyudmila is somewhat underestimated, which should be used when choosing bets.
Our forecast is that Samsonova will win with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the total
When choosing a total bet, we recommend starting from the statistics of face-to-face matches. The tennis players played each other four times and never exchanged the sets they won, and they did not even play more than 20 games.
The second bet is a total of less than 21 games in 2.02
Bet on the second set
In the three previous matches with Samsonova, no more than nine games were played in the second game. We expect that a lot of the upcoming game will be decided in the first set.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.73
