🔍 Match Breakdown

Form contrast: Potapova is grinding just to stay afloat, while Andreeva is one of the most consistent winners on tour.

Game dynamics: Potapova’s flat baseline game can hurt opponents if she hits cleanly, but her inconsistency gives Andreeva the chance to dictate tempo.

Physical & mental edges: Andreeva is fresher, sharper, and has turned Slam 2R into routine wins (7–2 record at this stage). Potapova often falters under pressure late in sets.

Upset angle: Potapova must serve big and shorten points; otherwise Andreeva’s patience and rally tolerance will wear her down.

🔮 Prediction

Potapova’s fight vs Zhu showed grit, but this is a step up against one of the steadiest performers of 2025. Unless Andreeva suffers a letdown, the teenager should control exchanges and extend her Slam consistency.

Pick: Andreeva in 2 sets — Potapova might keep one set close, but Andreeva’s form and confidence should prove decisive.
