Winner of this match will reach their first quarterfinal at Wimbledon
With Wimbledon 2025 rolling into the second week, it is time for more round of 16 action from SW19. The second match to feature on the No.2 court today will be between the 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova, pitted against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The winner of this match will move to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time to take on either Iga Swiatek or Clara Tauson.
To this point, the 19th seed, Samsonova, has been in fine form, dropping just 13 games from her first three matches. In fact, she has easily sailed past Maya Joint, Yuliia Starodubtseva, and Daria Kasatkina with straight set wins.
As far as her service is concerned, the Russian has 6 aces, 5 double faults, and has won 68% of her first serve points from her three matches. She has also held serve 83% of the time, while breaking 36% of the games played.

Bouzas Maneiro, on the other hand, has made her way to the fourth round following a walkover against Ella Seidel in the first round, after which she defeated Sofia Kenin and Dayana Yastremska respectively.
The Spanish player has hit 13 aces and 12 double faults, but has managed to hold serve in 89% of her service games. Astonishingly, she has won 67% of her return games as well.
Liudmila Samsonova and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro have never played against one another. This first-ever meeting between the two at Wimbledon will be a much-anticipated affair as both players look to evaluate their opponent’s play early on.

In their first-ever meeting, it is probably the Russian 16th seed who has the edge in this match. She is the more experienced and better player of the two at this stage of their careers. Moreover, Samsonova brings an aggressive and powerful game that should suit her on this surface more than her opponent.
Bouzas Maneiro has played well to this point. She was also able to handle the power game thrown at her by Yastremska in the previous round. However, getting past Samsonova may pose a trickier challenge, especially considering how none of her opponents have managed to even win 4 games against her in one set.
