Command Analysis

Anastasia Potapova

Current form
Potapova defeated Alexandra Sosnovich 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinals of the Cluj-Napoca competition. Anastasia performed five aces, made four break points and lost two games on her serve in the confrontation with the Belarusian tennis player. Earlier, the Russian eliminated Ella Seidel, Victoria Golubich and Julia Graber from the title race.
Professional qualities
From an early age, Potapova demonstrated an aggressive style of play, forcing rivals to be wary of her pressure even in the junior tour. Her potential foreshadowed a career as a world-class star, but so far it has not been possible to achieve this. Personal life and mental aspects prevent Nastya from reaching the top level. In playing conditions, her strengths are a powerful serve and the ability to build positional attacks from the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
Potapova is currently ranked 32nd in the world rankings. She was once ranked 21st there. During her career, Anastasia has won three titles, two of which are WTA categories. She won her last trophy in 2023 at the Indore in Linz.
Interesting facts for betting
Potapova leads in a face-to-face confrontation with Bronzetti with a score of 4-0.

Lucia Bronzetti

Current form
Bronzetti reached the final of the tournament in Cluj-Napoca on the refusal of Katerina Sinyakova, who withdrew from the match in the first set with the score 0-4. In 17 minutes of playing time, Lucia managed only to realize two break points. Earlier, Elizabeth Kocciaretto, Peyton Stearns and Simona Halep passed through the Italian's tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Bronzetti prefers a rational game, relies on defense and avoids unnecessary risk. She rarely goes to the net, consistently staying on the back line. However, the instability of the second ball on serve can create problems. The Italian's main trump card is a whiplash and accurate forehand, which allows her to attack even from deep inside the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Bronzetti is the 72nd racket of the world at the moment. During her career, the Italian has won seven trophies, one of which is the WTA category. Last year, Lucia won the title on clay in Contrexeville.
Interesting facts for betting
The last ten matches involving Bronzetti ended in two sets.

Potapova demonstrates an excellent game on the indoor hard court of Cluj-Napoca. Bronzetti, judging by the statistics of personal meetings, is a convenient opponent for Anastasia - the Russian leads in a face-to-face confrontation with Lucia with a score of 4-0. However, it is worth noting that the only face-to-face meeting on Indore between the tennis players took place in wrestling and the Italian managed to take one set from Anastasia.
