Liudmila Samsonova and Barbora Krejcikova: Liudmila Samsonova leads 3–0 across 3 recorded meetings.
Krejcikova's serve kept giving way. Liudmila Samsonova took 4 of 9 return games while dropping serve once in ten, converting 4 of 10 break points to the No. 22 seed's 1 of 5 — an upset only by the market's math, which made Barbora Krejcikova a 59 percent favorite despite her having dropped both prior meetings on record to the same opponent. A break for 3-1 in the second was the seed's lone push, but the WTA No. 70 broke back in game 7 and again in game 11 for 6-5. Krejcikova saved two match points before the third landed, 1 hour, 31 minutes in, sending Samsonova into the Canadian Open round of 32.
