If scorelines could talk, they might gently whisper, "Magdalena, dear, love isn't in the air for you lately". Just one win in her last five encounters doesn't exactly fill the heart with well, tennis balls of confidence, does it? Now, you might think "Hey, Potapova hasn't been exactly setting the stage on fire either!", but let's be realistic, she isn't exactly unseeded for her charm.
Ah, remember the days when past matchups mattered? The good ol' days of 2024. Yes, Frech did outshine Potapova then, but times change. Fast forward to 2025, and the most recent records show a slight tilt towards Potapova.
So, get your tennis sweaters and strawberries ready, it's judgment time. Hold on to your hats, folks, I am putting my imaginary money on Anastasia Potapova. My sixth sense says, it's going to be a commendable tug-of-war but Potapova should bag it in 3 sets.
Albert's Prediction: Potapova in 3 sets
