LiontipsAnett Kontaveit vs Anastasia Potapova. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Hamburg
Command Analysis
On February, Anett Kontaveit reached the final of Doha tournament. Since then, Estonian player was unable to get past the quarter-final in any WTA competition.
Anett had a difficult first round match against Irina Bara (6:3, 7:6). In the second round Kontaveitrecorded a victory over Peterson (6:3, 6:2). Quarter-final match turned out to be even easier for the Estonian player, because her opponent, Petkovic, retired in the second set.
Anastasia Potapova has already won one trophy in 2022. On April, she won a title at clay tournament in Istanbul. Last week, Russian player reached the semi-final of Lausanne tournament, so she is surely in a great form now.
Potapova won all of her matches at Hamburg in straight sets. Victories over Gracheva (7:5, 6:3) and Carle (6:1, 6:4) were not so surprising. But a 6:1, 6:3 victory over Krejcikova in the quarter-final surely proves that Anastasia means business here in Hamburg.
