Stats for the set were better for Samsonova overall, although she had a lower first serve percentage.
Samsonova was priced at 1.38/1.39 after the set.

Bouzkova served first in the second set. If the set loser is serving first in the next set, I usually let them have their service game before entering.
There are 3 options:
-Lay Samsonova at the start of the second set
-Wait for Bouzkova to have her service game before laying Samsonova
-Lay half the stake at the start of set 2 and add the rest after her service game.
This time, I intended to wait for Bouzkova to have her service game. However, she faced a break point at 30-40 and I laid Samsonova at 1.28. Bouzkova recovered to hold.
0-1
Samsonova faced a break point and I removed some of my liability at 1.55. She also recovered to hold. I now had a larger position on Bouzkova with a small red on Samsonova.
1-1
The next 6 games were holds with no break points. This took them to 4-4. If I have laid the first set winner and the score reaches 4-4, that is usually my cue to exit. In this case, I had removed most of my liability and had green on my pre match favourite. I wanted to give Bouzkova the chance to take the set.

Stats for the set had shifted towards Bouzkova. Samsonova had a low first serve percentage of 50%. Bouzkova’s numbers were much more solid despite facing 5 break points.

In third sets in WTA matches, I generally wait for a player to be broken. If the leading player’s lay price is decent, I will lay them. The other player breaks back around 48% of the time on grass.
