Liudmila Samsonova

Samsonova endorses the Head Speed MP racket. Samsonova is a powerful right‑handed baseliner who turned pro in 2013, initially represented Italy (2014–18) before switching to Russia in 2018. Her breakthrough came in 2021 when, as a qualifier, she won the WTA 500 German Open in Berlin (defeating Belinda Bencic) and played a key role in Russia’s 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup victory with a perfect 5–0 record. She has since claimed five WTA singles titles—including Washington, Cleveland and Tokyo in 2022, and ’s‑Hertogenbosch in 2024—and two doubles titles (Dubai 2023, Seoul 2024).
