Yastremska vs Potapova. WTA Brisbane Match Prediction
Yastremska and Potapova will meet in the second round of the tournament in Brisbane on January 1.

Potapova, although with difficulty, was able to overcome the starting circle and get game practice. What will the upcoming match be like? - bets on this match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Dayana Yastremska

Current form
On open hard courts last season, Yastremska won 12 matches and lost 12. Dayana finished last year at the tournament in Limoges, where she lost to Carole Monnet in the second round.
Professional qualities
Yastremska is a tennis player whose game is entirely based on attack. Her forehand is a formidable weapon, but it is also often the reason for her defeats. The Ukrainian relies too much on her forehand, forgetting about the variety of shots and reliable defense. When her attacking style does not work, Dayana most often cannot find a way out of difficult game situations. The lack of flexibility in the game and the tendency to force things can become decisive factors in a match with a more versatile opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Yastremska is ranked 33rd in the world. Last season was not easy for Dayana. She demonstrated her best result in 2024 only at the Australian Open, where for the first time in her career she managed to reach the semi-final stage from the qualification.
Interesting facts for betting
Yastremska has won only two victories in her last ten matches.

Anastasia Potapova

Current form
Potapova advanced to the second round of the competition in Brisbane on the refusal of Ana Bogdan, who withdrew from the match at 6-2, 4-6, 0-2. In 2 hours and 23 minutes of playing time, Anastasia served five aces, converted five break points and lost five games on her serve.
Professional qualities
Potapova demonstrates a more balanced approach to the game. Her aggressiveness is supported by a rational choice of shots and a good feel for the ball. However, the technical inaccuracies that periodically arise in her game can be decisive in tense moments of the match. The Russian rarely makes hasty shots or gives in to emotions, focusing on a calmer tennis.
Current indicators in the tour
Potapova is ranked 35th in the world. Her highest ranking is 21st. Last season, Anastasia did not win a single trophy. She has only played two semi-finals - at tournaments in Birmingham and Cleveland.
Interesting facts for betting
Potapova was last year quarterfinalist at the tournament in Brisbane.
