Coco Gauff vs Anastasia Potapova: Preview
In the third round of the Miami Open, Coco Gauff, seeded sixth, will face Anastasia Potapova, seeded 27th. This will mark their third match against each other, with Gauff winning both of their previous encounters. Gauff secured her spot in the third round after defeating Rebecca Marino 6-4, 6-3. She has had a strong start to the season, winning 15 out of 19 matches, which included a championship victory at the ASB Classic.
Meanwhile, Anastasia Potapova won her match against Ukrainian player Marta Kostyuk, taking the victory in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-3. Potapova has won 11 out of 16 matches, including a triumph at the Linz Open. Although Potapova’s career seems to be on the rise, Gauff is expected to be the stronger player and will likely win their upcoming match.
Gauff has her sights set on a deep run in the tournament and even winning the title, especially with Iga Swiatek unable to compete. This presents a golden opportunity for the hometown hero to claim the championship in front of her local supporters. If Gauff manages to secure the title, it would be the most significant victory of her career to date.
On the other hand, Potapova advanced to the third round amid all the controversies happening around her due to the war against Ukraine. Kostyuk refused to shake hands with her in their previous encounter. Nevertheless, Potapova remains focused on her game and looking to upset the sixth seed, Coco Gauff.
Coco Gauff vs Anastasia Potapova: Prediction
Saturday’s match between Coco Gauff and the in-form Anastasia Potapova, has all the makings of an exciting thriller. The 19-year-old player began her campaign with a promising start, beating Rebecca Marino in straight sets, at a tournament that she considers her home. She will have the support of the crowd behind her as she faces Potapova, who has recently been involved in controversial incidents.
The 21-year-old, Potapova received a warning from the WTA for wearing a Spartak Moscow t-shirt during Indian Wells, an act that was perceived by many as a deliberate attempt to antagonize. On Thursday, she played the role of the villain in her straight-sets victory over Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk, who refused to shake her hand at the net.
Gauff has won both of her previous encounters against Potapova, at the US Open in 2019 (in three sets) and in Montreal two years ago (though Potapova was forced to retire due to an injury). However, this upcoming match could be as closely contested as their first meeting. While Gauff is favored to win, she will need all the support she can get from the crowd.
Prediction: Coco Gauff wins in straight sets.
