LiontipsAnastasia Potapova vs Rebecca Peterson. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Nur-Sultan
Command Analysis
Anastasia Potapova reached the quarter-final of WTA tournament only for the second time in this season. She failed to advance into the semi-final at Dubai and at Birmingham. Probably a tournament at Nur-Sultan will be more successful for her.
Looking at her performance in Kazakhstan, we think that she has a chance for a success. In the first round she recorded a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Kerkhove. Second round match against Mladenovic started badly for Potapova - she lost the first set (1-6). But Russian player improved her performance in the second set, started to play better at her serve and eventually mounted a comeback (1:6, 6:4, 6:3).

Peterson had a difficult first round match against an experienced Swiss player, Vogele (7:5, 4:6, 6:3). In the second round Peterson performed better and left no chance to the local player, Zarina Diyas (6:2, 6:2).
