Liudmila Samsonova faces Marie Bouzkova in the third round of the Wimbledon Women's Singles 2026 on Saturday. Stats Insider’s model gives Bouzkova a 56% chance of winning, so the market starts with a split between the simulation and the price on offer.
The match is scheduled to begin at 8:00pm AEST. That gives bettors a clean pre-match window to compare the model view with the current numbers before play starts.
Stats Insider and Bouzkova
Stats Insider ran the Samsonova-Bouzkova matchup through 10,000 simulations. The output is straightforward: Bouzkova comes out on top more often, which is why the model leans her way even before a ball is struck.
For readers comparing the prediction with the market, the listed prices matter. TAB has Samsonova at $2.20 and Bouzkova at $1.66, while the first-set market shows Samsonova at $2.10 and Bouzkova at $1.72.

Those numbers leave a small but real gap between the model and the betting board. The simulation gives Bouzkova the edge, yet the recommended bet is Bouzkova at $1.90, which is the figure that matters most for anyone trying to judge value rather than just pick the shorter price.
The math behind that recommendation is simple enough: a 56% win chance implies Bouzkova should be favoured, but not every favourite offers the same return. At this price point, the match becomes less about picking the winner and more about whether the quoted odds still leave room to back the side the model likes.
Wimbledon 2026 third round
For Samsonova, the immediate task is to turn a lower-rated position into a result on Saturday. For Bouzkova, the market and the simulation are aligned enough to make her the side to watch before the 8:00pm AEST start.
Marie Bouzkova Holds 56% Edge Over Liudmila Samsonova is the core read here, but the practical takeaway is sharper: the model prefers Bouzkova, while the recommended play still hinges on whether the $1.90 price justifies the risk. That is the line readers should measure against before the first serve.
