My prediction is that Ludmila Samsonova will win the match against Aryna Sabalenka. Ludmila has shown excellent form and has already played several confident matches in the tournament. She has handled tough opponents, such as Jana Siniakova, which indicates her high level of play. Although Aryna possesses a powerful serve and returns, she sometimes makes double faults on her second serve, which could be a problem in the match against Samsonova. Her game could become vulnerable in such a case, allowing Ludmila to earn points and make breaks. Ludmila also has a strong serve but sometimes makes double faults. However, considering Sabalenka's error statistics, I believe Ludmila will be able to handle this challenge. Overall, considering Ludmila's high form and her ability to adapt to strong opponents, I believe in her victory in this match.
Aryna Sabalenka should defeat Liudmila Samsonova in this match. Both players are showing good form, but Sabalenka surpasses her opponent in both technique and serving. She has a powerful and accurate serve, with a high percentage of first serve points won, which could pose problems for Samsonova on the return. Furthermore, Sabalenka is more stable and experienced in big tournaments, and her victories over strong opponents confirm the quality of her game. In the match against Martic, she demonstrated competitiveness and the ability to handle pressure. Samsonova may be dangerous, but Sabalenka has higher chances of winning, especially if she plays her best tennis.
In the third round, Ludmilla Samsonova and Arina Sabalenka will meet. Samsonova is showing good form, reaching the semi-finals in Washington, where she lost to Gauff. She also won a three-set match against Siniakova at this tournament. Sabalenka has 21 wins and 3 losses on hard courts this year. However, her game against Martic was not very confident, with lots of double faults and a tiebreak. Both players have a powerful style of play, and a close fight is expected. We might even see a tiebreak, so I bet that the total number of games will be over 21.5.
I predict that in the match between Sabalenka and Samsonova at the Masters tournament in Canada in the women's draw, we will see three sets. Both tennis players have a high level of play and a powerful first serve, which will allow them to confidently win their games. Sabalenka has long been a top-5 player with a lot of experience, and Samsonova has shown significant progress and a lot of promise for the future. It is very likely that both athletes will fight for every point and play at a high level, which will result in the match being decided in tiebreaks. Ultimately, we can expect a tough battle and an interesting matchup that may go all three sets.
