Anastasia Potapova vs Dayana Yastremska Prediction and Betting Tips (18.02.2025)

Command Analysis

Anastasia Potapova

Russian Federation

Current form

Potapova is having a strong start to the season, demonstrating a confident game. Anastasia won the title of the tournament in Cluj-Napoca, after which she took a short break, did not play last week. This approach seems to have paid off, as the Russian tennis player left no chance for Haddad Maya (6-3, 6-0) at the start in Dubai. It should be noted that her best result on local courts is the quarterfinals of 2021.

Professional qualities

Anastasia tends to dictate her playing conditions on the court, although she is not stable, there are decent fluctuations during the matches. However, she is now at the peak of her form, has self-confidence, and it is no coincidence that she has scored 9 out of 11 victories since the beginning of the year with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets.

Current indicators in the tour

In 2025, Potapova has already played 14 matches, 11 of which were victorious. Anastasia is ranked 33rd in the world ranking. In Dubai, she needs to defend her points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year, and there is only one step left to do this.

Interesting facts for betting

In five of Potapova's last six matches, the minimum number of sets was played.
Anastasia's winning streak currently stands at six matches.

Dayana Yastremska

Ukraine

Current form

Yastremskaya, in general, can take the starting segment of the season as an asset. Dayana scored the third round at the Australian Open and played in the final in Linz. At the same time, in Doha last week, she failed to cope with Stearns at the start (5-7, 3-6). In Dubai, the Ukrainian tennis player confidently defeated Lynette (6-3, 7-5) in the first round in two sets.

Professional qualities

Dayana plays attacking tennis and strives to shoot straight through at the first opportunity. You can often even see her taking unnecessary risks, which prevents her from achieving success on a regular basis at a distance.

Current indicators in the tour

Since the beginning of the year, Yastremskaya has won nine matches and suffered five defeats in the tour. She is currently in 48th position in the ranking, although her best result in her career is 21st place.

It doesn't seem like anything has fundamentally changed in the balance of power in this couple over the past time.
