Anastasia Potapova vs Karolina Muchova prediction

Anastasia Potapova’s recent run of good form will be put to the test by Karolina Muchova.

The Austrian set up a sixth career meeting with the Czech courtesy of a 5-7 6-2 6-4 victory over Dalma Galfi and has been in sizzling form on clay, including a final appearance in Linz and a last four spot in Madrid.

However, the world number 38 trails 4-1 in the head-to-head with Muchova, who reached the final in Stuttgart and has been going deep in a number of tournaments in recent months.

It could be a high-class battle but if Muchova is fit and firing, her overall quality will see her shine brighter than Potapova.
