Elena Rybakina - Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

Liudmila Samsonova may have some health problems, but in the first stages she should show her game even more, as this is a prestigious tournament. Previously, she reached the quarterfinals in both Abu Dhabi and Brisbane. She is a talented player with good power and a strong serve.
Magdalena Frech, on the other hand, is not known for her strength and usually only wins every other match. She struggles with stamina and lacks a strong serve on a hard court. She lost to another Russian, Zvonareva, in two sets at Doha, after 41 minutes. I think this will be a tough match for the Polish player.
