Command Analysis

Anastasia Potapova

Russian Federation

Current form

The last time Potapova got through at least two rounds on the tour was on grass in Birmingham, after which she had a decent decline. At the tournament in Cleveland, Anastasia managed to pull herself together, got going and without any particular problems beat two fairly strong opponents by tour standards, Parry (6-3, 6-2) and Tauson (6-2, 6-2).

Professional qualities

When Potapova is in shape, she can do a lot on the court – she can play actively, she is not afraid to make a mistake, she is able to hit reliably with both hands. Now, judging by the two matches in Cleveland, this is exactly the moment.

Current indicators in the tour

Throughout the season, Potapova alternates between individual successful periods and outright failures. Nevertheless, she has a positive balance of victories and defeats (+22 -18), including on hard courts - 11 victories in 20 matches. In the world ranking, the Russian is ranked 43rd.

Interesting facts for betting

In two matches in Cleveland, Potapova did not hit a single ace.
In the six previous matches involving Anastasia, no more than nine games were played in the second set.

Ana Bogdan

Romania

Current form

Bogdan became one of the discoveries of the tournament in Cleveland. The Romanian tennis player started in the qualification, where she overcame the resistance of Rogers and Minnen. In the first round of the main draw, Ana managed to return to the game and won a strong-willed victory over Fernandez (1-6, 7-6, 6-2), although she was a clear underdog in that match. Then she had to play Minnen for the second time - a victory in two sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3.

Professional qualities

The Romanian tennis player is capable of competing with any opponent when she is in high spirits, as she is unyielding. She obviously caught this very spirit in Cleveland and you definitely shouldn't underestimate her, considering her considerable experience on the tour.

Current indicators in the tour

The season for Bogdan is far from being the most successful, even taking into account four victories in Cleveland, she still has negative statistics - 15 wins and 18 losses. In the world ranking, Ana left the top 100, now she is the 103rd racket in the world, but thanks to Cleveland she will clearly return to the top hundred.

Interesting facts for betting

In four matches in Cleveland, Bogdan played three tiebreaks.
In three of the Romanian's last five matches, more than nine games were played in the opening set.

Tip and bets

1.76Potapova with a handicap of (-3)

Potapova managed to overcome a protracted game crisis, got two confident victories in Cleveland and is unlikely to stop there, save her strength for New York, since given the far from strongest grid, she has the opportunity to fight for the title here and now. Bogdan has four difficult matches behind her, where she left a lot of strength and emotions, but did not demonstrate a stable game as such. We are betting on another confident victory for the Russian.

Our prediction is Potapova's victory with a handicap of (-3) games at odds of 1.76
