Command Analysis
Anastasia Potapova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Potapova reached the semifinals of the competition in Cluj-Napoca thanks to her victory over Ella Seidel (6-2, 6-3). Anastasia, in a confrontation with a German tennis player, made six aces, realized four break points and lost one game on her serve. Earlier, the Russian beat Victoria Golubich and Julia Graber in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Potapova prefers an attacking style of play. In the first matches in Cluj-Napoca, she tried to drive the balls deep under the back line, leaving her opponents no time to react. One of her most dangerous punches is a backhand down the line – Anastasia perfectly changes the direction of attack and often catches opponents off guard. However, sometimes the 32nd racket of the world acts too hastily, making mistakes in simple situations.
Current indicators in the tour
Potapova is the former 21st racket of the world, who now ranks 32nd in the world rankings. During her career, Anastasia has won three titles, two of which are WTA categories. She won her last trophy at the Indore in Linz in 2023.
