Janice Tjen vs Liudmila Samsonova — R128 — Canadian Open

The first serve separated them. Liudmila Samsonova won 82 percent of first-serve points to Janice Tjen's 67, and while the WTA No. 70 toppling the No. 37 scans as an upset, the market saw it coming: 10Bet made her a 61 percent favorite, and she carried a 2-0 edge in meetings on record. Tjen made it far tighter this time, taking 64 percent of second-serve return points and stretching the opener to an 11-9 tiebreak, but ten double faults, nine of them in that set alone, kept undercutting the push. Samsonova closed it out in 2 hours, 19 minutes for a third win in three meetings on record, and moves into the second round at the Canadian Open.
