Liudmila Samsonova Career
Liudmila was born in Olenegorsk in 1998 to the family of Dmitry Samsonov, a well-known table tennis player.

But since 2018 Lyudmila began to play under the Russian flag. In May of this year, Samsonova managed to reach 105th place of the WTA ranking.

At the Berlin tournament, Liudmila made it to the main draw through qualifying and there she defeated successively Marketa Vondroushova, Veronika Kudermetova, Madison Keys and Victoria Azarenka. Her opponent in the finals was Belinda Bencic who used to be the 4th racket of the world. At first the finals didn't work out well for Samsonova. She was losing 0:5 and only at the end of the set she managed to keep the scoreboard from being 0 for 6. But then the situation changed dramatically. The Russian began to dominate completely, throwing blows, stumping her more experienced opponent. Not infrequently her cannon serve was followed by a split serve. As a result, the second game ended with a mirror – 6:1. In the third set Liudmila immediately broke and could hold it in spite of all the Swiss player's efforts. 1:6, 6:1, 6:3.
A victory in the tournament in Berlin impressed the organizers of Wimbledon, and they gave a wild card for Samsonova.
