Potapova looks very confident in the summer tournaments, irrespective of the surface. Krejcikova is still unable to reach her former level of play, losing her last three matches on hard court. Moreover, a month ago in Hamburg, Anastasia left no chance for Barbora to win.
Twice in their careers, Krejcikova and Potapova have played each other. The rivals exchanged wins, but the matches were not prolonged. No more than 16 games were played in those matches.
Krejcíkova has failed at two recent major tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati.
In Toronto, Barbora lost at once to Karolina Pliskova (3-6, 4-6), before being quietly stopped by Veronika Kudermetova (3-6, 3-6) in Cincinnati.
At her home tournament in Prague, Krejcikova did not impress either. After beating Anna Blinkova (6-3, 6-1), she sensationally lost to Nao Hibino (6-3, 6-7, 3-6).
That said, it is still worth noting that Krejcikova reached the Sydney hard court final and the Australian Open quarter-finals earlier in the season.
Krejcikova has lost 6 consecutive matches in North America.
Potapova, meanwhile, was also unsuccessful in Cincinnati. At first, she lost in qualification to Anna Kalinskaya (5-7, 1-6), but then she made it to the main draw as a lucky loser.
However, nothing good came of it anyway. In her first match, Anastasia had to play against Simona Halep. She managed to win one set, but Halep was stronger (3-6, 6-3, 3-6).
Before that, Potapova had a stunning July. She reached the semi-finals in Lausanne and Hamburg.
In Prague, Anastasia reached the final but was defeated by Marie Bouzkova (0-6, 3-6). Although in the quarter-finals, she managed to defeat world #2 Anett Kontaveit.
Potapova has won 4 of her last 5 matches at the WTA250 level.
In three of Krejcikova’s five previous matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.74.
