“In her first match, she lost to Mirra Andreeva, who is in great form, and then lost to Siegemund. Siegemund is a difficult opponent who knows how to make absolutely all types of shots: serving well, cutting and shortening the game. No. Many people have such a varied technique. As for Samsonova’s game, she seems to be in a terrible state now. I don’t understand how someone can show such a level at WTA tournaments. It is not clear what this is for could be related. I hope she can find her form for the Open Championship Australia,” commented Chesnokov.
Today, December 9, Samsonova was defeated by Laura Siegemund in the first round of the WTA-500 tournament in Adelaide (Australia) with a score of 7:6 (7:1), 4:6, 4:6. Previously, she lost to Mirra Andreeva in the first round at the competitions in Brisbane (2:6, 1:6).
