On Saturday in the 2022 Cleveland open final Ludmilla Samsonova of Russia will face Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus.
Over the past two weeks, the Russian has overwhelmed everyone in his path. Ludmilla Samsonova lost just two sets in Washington along route to winning the championship there, and she hasn’t lost a set yet this week. Her most recent victory, in which she destroyed Bernarda Pera for the loss of just three games, was a clear indication of her intentions. The American has two trophies in three weeks after winning 19 of her past 20 matches. It’s safe to say that Samsonova is in excellent form right now and comes into this match as the rightful favourite. Given that both players are aggressive ball strikers, it appears that this contest will be won by whose mark they find more frequently. Samsonova has a minor advantage due to her stronger serve and more power. The Russian has also triumphed in nine straight bouts, which will undoubtedly give her confidence. Sasnovich is currently having her greatest tennis year in a long time, so she will have just as much confidence in her ability to prevail as Samsonova.
For the first time since 2017, Aliaksandra Sasnovich finished 2021 outside the top 100. But after a standout season, she is now ranked #36 in the world, surpassing Samsonova. When Sasnovich is at her best, she can challenge any player on the WTA Tour, and this week in Cleveland, she has been performing at or near that level. Sasnovich, a highly talented player in excellent shape, will undoubtedly put up a fight. But Samsonova has occasionally displayed brilliance, particularly on hard courts.
Ludmilla Samsonova and Bernarda Pera are scheduled to face one another in the final round of the 2022 Cleveland Open on Saturday, August 27. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 21 till August 27.
The 2022 Cleveland Open will see six rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These include the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final women’s. The tournament is scheduled to commence on August 21 and conclude on August 27 this year.
