Anastasia Potapova vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Anastasia Potapova squeezed past Marina Stakusic in round one of Indian Wells. This match remarkably saw 15 breaks of serve overall, with Potapova going 5-1 down in the first set. She recovered with two breaks, but was then broken when serving to stay in the set. Potapova dominated the second but looked close to an early exit as Stakusic served for the match at 5-4, yet the 24-year-old reeled off three games in a row to win 4-6 6-1 7-5 after two hours and 25 minutes.
Jasmine Paolini is her next opponent. The two-time Grand Slam singles finalist simply hasn’t got going in 2026. She decided to compete in Merida last week as the top seed, but she was on the end of an upset as she was defeated by Cristina Bucsa in the semi-finals.
The head-to-head is locked at 1-1. Potapova was not entirely convincing in her first-round match, and that should encourage Paolini, despite her poor form.
