Jessica Pegula to win
Liudmila Samsonova has played against Jessica Pegula thrice and was on the losing side twice. She is coming up against the American ace after a 2-1 win over Elena Rybakina just a couple of hours removed. With Pegula triumphing against Iga Swiatek yesterday and having a day to recover, we are backing the well-rested world number 3 to triumph in this meeting.
2-1 to Jessica Pegula
Samsonova has impressed in Montreal with three of her five wins coming in three sets. As a seeded participant, Pegula had to play a match fewer but she too claimed two victories in the deciding set. With the duo showcasing resilience, we expect a tough battle, one in which a deciding looks likely to separate them. It has been the case in their three meetings thus far. Given the greater rest afforded to Pegula, we are backing her to triumph against her Russian rival.

Not to be let up, the Russian impressed in her next outings in the Citi Open, making it to the semi-finals before heading into eventual champions Coco Gauff.
