Command Analysis

Anastasia Potapova

Potapova was remembered this season for reaching the 1/8 finals of Roland Garros and the semi-finals of the grass tournament in Birmingham. Then Anastasia had a complete failure, she did not win a single match in the last three tournaments. The transition to hard in Washington was also unsuccessful. In the opening match against the American Townsend, a defeat was recorded with a score of 2-6, 2-6.

Magdalena Frech

Frech had an unsuccessful performance at Wimbledon, where she lost to Haddad Maia in the first round, but successfully returned to clay and made her mark in the final of the tournament in Prague. She had an opportunity to prove herself at the Olympics, since she was not the strongest opponent in Tomova at the start, but Magdalena lost to her in two tight sets (4-6, 6-7). Today in Toronto she will play her first match on hard court after her performance in Paris.

Potapova has been too weak in recent tournaments, there were a huge number of unforced errors in the game, and switching to hard did not help her either. At the very least, with such a game, Anastasia does not deserve the status of favorite that bookmakers have assigned her in the line.
Our prediction is a win for Frekh with odds of 2.21 in the Winline bookmaker
