Xinyu Wang and Liudmila Samsonova: Liudmila Samsonova leads 2–1 across 3 recorded meetings.
Every break point ran one way. Liudmila Samsonova cashed 4 of 7 and saved all six she faced, while Xinyu Wang went 0-for-6 against a serve that won 84 percent of first-serve points. By the rankings it reads as an upset, WTA No. 69 over No. 39, but the market leaned Samsonova at 61 percent, and the 1-1 series on record had already sorted by surface — Wang's win on grass, hers on hard. A break in game 1 for 1-0 set the shape, and 69 minutes later she had a Washington Open quarterfinal, one round after erasing a one-set deficit against Madison Keys.
