Šramková had a successful last season and is now in the top 50. However, the Slovak tennis player did not start 2025 in the best way.

In Linz, Rebecca had a difficult match against Cociaretto at the start, where she managed to win in two tight sets (7-5, 7-5).

2.21Tip and bets
Potapova confidently held the opening match in Linz, the local hall is very familiar to her, as she won the title here two years ago. At the same time, one should not underestimate Shramkova, the representative of Slovakia is distinguished by her stubbornness and endurance, she is always ready to work hard on the back line, to wait for her opponents to make mistakes. We believe that the match will be quite a close fight and Anastasia, due to her instability, will not be able to confidently win.
Our prediction is Shramkova victory with a handicap of (+4) games with a coefficient of 1.68
