Ena Shibahara / Vera Zvonareva VS Liudmila Samsonova/Diana Shnaider Prediction
Samsonova and Shnaider hold a superior head-to-head edge, winning their most recent encounter in straight sets, while Shibahara/Zvonareva have struggled in doubles lately with inconsistent form. Advanced metrics show Samsonova's strong serving efficiency (88% first-serve points won recently) and Shnaider's return prowess outpacing opponents' xPoints in recent matches. No late injuries reported for either team, and outdoor conditions at Australian Open favor the younger, faster duo. Market odds undervalue their 62% true win probability versus implied 60%, indicating slight value.
