Potapova – Graber: forecast for the WTA match Cluj-Napoca
Last week in the Linz gym, Anastasia Potapova confidently dealt with Julia Graber in two sets, giving her only four games per game. The tournament fate brought the tennis players together again, this time they will play each other on February 4 in the first round in Cluj-Napoca. Should we expect a convincing victory from the Russian tennis player again? – the answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Anastasia Potapova
Russian FederationCurrent form
At the Australian Open, Potapova failed to achieve a high result, losing in the second round to compatriot Pavlyuchenkova (6-7, 6-2, 2-6). The move to the gym had a positive effect on Anastasia's game. Last week in Linz, she reached the quarterfinals, beating Graber (6-2, 6-2) and Shramkova (7-6, 6-4) in the tournament bracket. In the 1/4 finals, the Russian did not cope with Mukhova, although she imposed a tight fight on the Czech (3-6, 6-3, 3-6).
Professional qualities
Anastasia strives to be number one on the court, although she cannot be called a purely attacking tennis player. Potapova has a well-placed backhand in her arsenal, which allows her to score a lot of points. At the same time, the Russian woman does not always act stably on the pitch.
Current indicators in the tour
This season, Potapova managed to play eight matches in the tour, in which she won five and suffered three defeats. She is currently ranked 32nd in the world rankings, and her best career result is 21st.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of Potapova's last four matches, tiebreakers were played in the first set.
- Anastasia's best result in Cluj-Napoca is the semifinal of 2022
Julia Grabher
AustriaCurrent form
Graber hasn't had much success on tour since the beginning of the year. She got her only victory in Auckland, where she beat Romero Gormas, who was far from the strongest (2-6, 6-3, 7-6). Last week, Yulia tried her hand at a home tournament in Linz, but in the first round she could not match her current opponent Potapova (2-6, 2-6).
Professional qualities
The Austrian tennis player is more inclined to play on clay, where she feels comfortable when exchanging punches on the back line. She doesn't have a powerful serve in her arsenal to play on fast surfaces, and she generally lacks strength and speed.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Graber played four matches, of which only one was victorious. She is currently only in 392nd position in the world ranking, although at one time she was the 54th racket of the world.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last three matches of the tour, Graber suffered defeats with an accurate score of 0:2 in sets.
- In three of the four previous matches of the Austrian tennis player, more than nine games were not played in the first set.

1.30Tip and bets
A few days ago in Linz, Potapova defeated Graber without any problems, giving her only four games per game. It is unlikely that the Austrian tennis player will take revenge today, but she is more inclined to play on clay. However, we expect that Julia will still work on the mistakes and we will not see a complete defeat in Cluj-Napoca. And Anastasia is not particularly stable enough to produce crushing victories from match to match.
Our prediction is that Graber will win with a handicap of (+7) games with a coefficient of 1.93
Bet on the total
Since the beginning of the season, Potapova has played eight matches on the tour, and only one of them had fewer than 17 games played. Accordingly, we recommend another forecast for the match.
The second bet is a total of more than 17 games for 1.78
Bet on the second set
In five of the eight matches involving Potapova this year, more than eight games were played in the second game. We are waiting for the fight today in this particular segment of the game.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is more than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.97
