Liudmila Samsonova vs Hanyu Guo Preview, Predictions and Betting Odds for WTA Ningbo Open Tour 2025 – 1

Eighth seed Liudmila Samsonova opens her Ningbo Open 2025 tournament against qualifier Hanyu Guo in a first-round clash. The winner will set up a second-round meeting with McCartney Kessler, who beat Sofia Kenin in straight sets.
Samsonova has shown consistency this season, not without setbacks. Her exceptional run took place in Strasbourg, where she reached the final before losing to Elena Rybakina in three sets. She also reached the semi-finals in Adelaide, after dropping out due to a foot injury, and in Berlin, as well as quarter-final appearances at Indian Wells, Wimbledon and, most recently, Tennis in the Land. In 52 matches this season, Samsonova has hit 204 aces, converted 44.4% of break points and won 69.5% of first-serve points.
Guo, on the other hand, is largely a doubles specialist. She has yet to win a WTA singles title, but has five doubles titles, as well as six singles titles and twelve doubles titles on the ITF circuit. This season she won the doubles titles in Adelaide and Bad Homburg with Alexandra Panova and reached the finals in Strasbourg and Cincinnati. Her singles results were modest, with most eliminations coming in the first round or during qualifying, although she reached the second round in Montreal, where Iga Swiatek handed her a straight sets defeat. In three main draw matches this season, Guo has hit seven aces, won 55 percent of first-serve points and converted 52.9 percent of break points.
