There is no doubt that Xinyu Wang will do her best today to successfully start defending last year’s semi-final points. However, she approached the start of the tournament in a far from optimal form, unlike Potapova. Anastasia played two tournaments in a row at a high level, she is in a great game mood.
In the last two weeks, Potapova has scored six wins on the tour. In five of them, the exact score was 2-0 in sets.
Wang Xinyu did not win a single match in Palermo last week, losing in the first round to Julia Grabher (3-6, 3-6).
In June, she qualified and played one round in the main draw at a tournament in Berlin. In Nottingham, she immediately lost to Ajla Tomljanovic (4-6, 4-6).
Wang Xinyu has never won two matches in a row at the WTA main draw level this season.
Her best success was reaching the second round of the Australian Open.
Wang Xinyu has lost four of her last five matches at WTA 250-level tournaments.
Potapova, meanwhile, has pleasantly surprised everyone in recent tournaments. In the middle of the month, she reached the semi-finals in Lausanne. Here the most frustrating thing was that she was prevented from reaching the final by Olga Danilovic (3-6, 2-6).
In Hamburg, Anastasia also reached the semi-finals. In the quarterfinals, she
defeated Barbora Krejcikova (6-1, 6-3). It was her first win over a top-20 opponent since March 2021. She lost in the 1/2 final to Anett Kontaveit (3-6, 5-7). By the way, not the worst match, despite the result.
In April, Potapova sensationally won a tournament in Istanbul. In the final, she defeated Veronika Kudermetova (6-3, 6-1).
Anastasia Potapova has qualified for the second round in four of her last five tournaments.
