Prediction: Ostapenko to win. In the quarterfinal match in Beijing between Elena Ostapenko and Ludmilla Samsonova, I prefer to bet on Ostapenko's victory. Both tennis players have an unpredictable playing style and rely on their first serve. However, Ostapenko looks more stable at the moment. She showed a good game in the previous match against Pegula, while Samsonova had a tough match against Kostyuk. Head-to-head meetings also favor Ostapenko. I believe that Ostapenko will be able to rise to the challenge and secure the victory in this match.
Prediction: Ostapenko's individual total over (11.5) games. In the match between Ostapenko and Samsonova, if Ostapenko can continue playing at the same level as she did against Pegula, she has a good chance of success and can push the set. She demonstrates a powerful game, with strong shots that penetrate deep into the court. Her opponent will struggle to gain control. Samsonova, although not in her best form, is gradually improving throughout the tournament and showing a fighting spirit. However, the result is likely to be closer, and a blowout from either player is unlikely. Nevertheless, currently Ostapenko appears to be more stable. Based on this, we make a prediction for Ostapenko's individual total, assuming she will surpass the mark of 11.5 games in the match against Samsonova.
