Leylah Fernandez vs. Liudmila Samsonova | 2024 Doha Round 1 | WTA Match Highlights 

It’s really a shame to have so few people in the stands for this high quality of tennis.

Trevisan: i know you guys wont post my match, so i will make sure you can feel my presence. 😂

At 2:47 you can hear Trevisan screaming from the next court 😂

This is a big win for Leylah !

Samsonova makes the semi-finals at Abu Dahbi then a few days later loses in the first round of Doha. Welcome to life on the WTA circuit!!

Fernandez was awesome.

Samsonova, not at 100%, is still not an easy win. Leylaa tennis looks good out there.

well done Fernandez. Badosa will b another tough challenge

Leylah played quite a bit better than recent matches. Good job 👏

Congrats Leylah!!!!❤

Congrats Leylah..., more power to you!!!!!

Well done Leyla congrats and good luck for the tournament ❤

Thank you WTA Match Fernandez is Sansonova brilliant

Goo Leylah!😃

I had to mute the match because Trevisan screaming on adjacent court was insane

Congratulations, Lailah. Well done.❤🙏

I am getting the impression that WTA players need at least a week of rest of downtime if they run deep into a tournament. If they react the finals or semi finals of a tournament it takes time to reset mentally and physically.

Good match from Fernandez, but god dam she needs to learn how to capitalize on opportunities. She was up a break in the first set, up 5-2 in the second set with 2 match points, up again in the tie break at 4-1… She really needs to make her lefty serve more of a weapon. Look at Kerber. She’s not a huge server, but she knows how to use her serve sooo effectively

Keep it together Leylah! It was a bit of a struggle but she got through ❤

I seriously believed Leylah would lose in two sets. Good going, Leylah. Sorry to Liudmila.

Laylah is mentally so strong...just saw the highlights versus Badisa before....shes super-tenacious...very impressive

Let's go Leylah!

Fernandez plays very high density and risky tennis. Sometime her straightforwardness turns against her. If only some one could teach her to be more strategic, she would be unstoppable

Bad few days for Samsonova. Lost her 4-0 streak to Rybakina and a quick knock out here.

Always liked y admired her! Y she is my kin duh🇵🇭

Obviously Samsonova was not at her best physically , but well , very bad start of season . Something does not work because she has talent but rarely reaches it

You can hear Trevisan grunt playing on the nearby courts, in these highlights.

When plainly watching 2:12, pulling a rabbit out of the hat with her powerful anticipation. What a magical shot from Leylah Fernandez! Samsonova really looks incoherent with her shot choices. She cannot make the most authentic decision in accordance with the movement of the rallies, it prompts her to make the unforced errors during the clash.

love it, fantastic win Leyla !!

Ooooh Leylaaah okaaayy good job 😄

Go Leylah!

nice game ladies

Samsonova is never consistent. Talent is there but dont what she has on her head. One tournament goes bang bang, another like a balloon when pinch

Nice job. Tomorrow she plays Hseih and Mertens in doubles. I don't fancy her chances on the doubles court but it will free her up to focus on singles.

Samsona must have earned millions by selling matches by now.

Why isn't this match on The Tennis Channel? smh

Well done Fernandez, I'm glad she won. That defeat at the AO from Parks was a fluke and this fragile girl proves with her game that she can do more

Go go go Fernandez!👌

go leylah

Thank you WTA for not showing flags and be consistent through years!

Vamos

Disappointing from Samsonova after making semi-final last of Abu Dhabi last week.

Что случилось Людмила ,ведь умеешь играть ,то на самом верху ,то из низа не выбратса 😢

I’m not so sure about all of,the comments about the WTA and Ukraine. They certainly give a lot of interviews and air time to Sabalenka from Belarus -a country they don’t like.

Top Players like Sabalenka and Swiatek need to be very careful of Leylah and Emma. Both are strong players when they play well and can easily beat any top player with their power hitting.

Fernandez > Raducanu

Two of my favorite "love-hate relationship" players! I would never have thought that an in-form Liudmila would lose to Foxy Fernandez, but the fact is you never what you will get from these two. Leylah looked stronger for sure but it is hard to know what is an anomaly and what is a trend. Samsonova is just simply a mystery. Fernandez as eye candy continues to reward the viewer.

Leylah is beautiful….oh yeah, and she’s a good tennis player.😊

GO Slaylah !!!

Самсонова игрок таранного типа, если "атака носорога" встречает столь же мощный ответ или начинает буксовать, она теряется и вся ее до того момента очень сильная игра рушится буквально как карточный домик. Ей нужен такой же тренер как у Соболенко. У той была похожая проблема (избыток мощи и полное отсутствие гибкости, неумение управлять своими эмоциями) и они ее успешно решили.

Abysmal video quality. Low resolution with low fps.

Love Russia

No crowd, What's the meaning of these matches, nobody's interested in the tennis in Middle East countries?

Match truqué....jai regardé le tournoi precedent samsonova vs ribakina et là contre hernandez,la différence de niceau de jeu est énorme !!! Match truqué également en ce moment entre kasatkina et pavluchenkova....kasatkina joue à peine et ça saute aux yeux!!!

Noisy italian on the side ughhh

ugh samsonova... i lost because of her

Лэйла - чараўніца

I just want to say that I think the WTA looks terrible in regards to how they have handled the war in Ukraine. They have continued to NOT show the players "flags" from their home country on the scoreboard for over a year now. The players from those countries (like Samsonova) have done nothing wrong, but the WTA continues to not show those players flags and that is wrong. Those players are not shooting people or invading another country, they are as innocent as the folks in the Ukraine and by not showing those flags, all the WTA has done is to draw more attention to those innocent WTA players. Time for WTA to STOP and treat all of its members the same.

I believe that Russian neo-fascists should be protected by Putin. It would be better if the WTA money went to the development of democratic countries and their tennis players.
