Kaia Kanepi vs Liudmila Samsonova odds Player MoneylineHandicap BetsTotal Games (Over & Under)Kaia Kanepi-105+1.5 (-133)Over 20.5 (-149)Liudmila Samsonova-120-1.5 (-105)Under 20.5 (105) (All odds are sourced from BetMGM) Kaia Kanepi vs Liudmila Samsonova prediction This promises to be a close encounter. The two players have almost identical stats on the court this year. Samsonova, however, has a slight edge when it comes to the number of aces, the break points converted and the break points saved. Kanepi can switch from being an offensive baseliner to being a defensive player as per the need of the situation. She generally employs a powerful stroke game. She prominently uses her flat backhand to return serves. However, she can also return well with her forehand. Samsonova has a quality game. She hit 17 winners and just five unforced errors in her previous match. She will have to react quickly and efficiently to Kanepi’s clean ball-striking to score the win. Pick: Samsonova to win in three sets. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Nihal Taraporvala × Feedback Thank You!
