Who will win Samson vs Zidansek?

Laura Samson. Agatha gives Samson a 53% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is Agatha's prediction for this match, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picks Samson

Laura Samson has won three matches in a row, all at the Mallorca Women's Championships. She beat Lucie Nguyen Tan 6-0, 6-3 in Round 2 on Oct 15, and she beat Andrea Lazaro Garcia in the quarterfinal on Oct 16, when the opponent retired. Samson is 3-0 on grass courts this year. Agatha picks Samson to win, slightly better than even, and predicts straight sets. The risk is Zidansek won their last meeting in our records, 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 in the first qualifying round of the US Open.
