Russian tennis player Lyudmila Samsonova had an unsuccessful competitive start to the year, two-time Grand Slam doubles winner told Andrei Olkhovsky .
Samsonova, seeded 13th, lost in first round of Australian Open Amanda Anisimova from the United States with a score of 3:6, 4:6. The meeting lasted 1 hour 24 minutes.
— Anisimova is the dark horse of this tournament: last time she beat Pavlyuchenkova, now Samsonova. The American is playing good tennis and Lyudmila hasn’t started the year with much confidence, but everything is ahead. “I have to recover and show my level,” Olkhovsky told .
Earlier in January, Samsonova lost to German Laura Siegemund in the first round of the tournament in Adelaide, Australia.
Anisimova’s next opponent at the Australian Open will be determined based on the results of the match between Nadya Podoroska (Argentina) and Tamara Zidansek (Slovenia).
