Caroline Garcia vs Anastasia Potapova Prediction and Betting Tips (20.09.2021)

Command Analysis

Caroline Garcia

France

Caroline Garcia was set to play against Paula Badosa at the start of Ostrava tournament, but some changes were made in the main draw. Nonetheless, French player is familiar with her new opponent. In 2019, Garcia recorded a victory over Potapova in three sets at Tianjin tournament (2:6, 6:2, 6:2).

In recent tournaments, just like in the season overall, Garcia was not looking great. A former World No. 4 player rarely advanced past the second round of WTA tournaments. For example, at US Open French player recorded a victory over Dart (6:7, 6:4, 6:2), but then she was eliminated by Rybakina (4:6, 1:6). After New York Garcia didn't play a single official match.

Anastasia Potapova

Russian Federation

Anastasia Potapova also can't be happy with her performance in 2021 season. So far Russian player had only one success - she reached the quarter-final of Dubai tournament, but it happened in the beginning of March.

Potapova advanced into the main draw through qualification. She recorded a victory in three sets over an experienced Vogele (3:6, 6:2, 6:2). In the final qualifying round her opponent, Alexandrova, withdrew herself from the match.
