Anastasia Potapova vs Victoria Mboko prediction
Anastasia Potapova makes her return from injury in the first-round of the Washington Open. It prevented her from competing at Wimbledon this year, but the Russian has declared herself fit for this event. Her form prior to the injury was mostly average, except for a fourth-round appearance in Madrid at the end of April. Potapova does have a title on the surface this season, winning an event in Cluj on the ITF circuit earlier in the year.
Her opponent will be 18-year-old Victoria Mboko. She was handed a wildcard for this tournament. her first ever WTA 500 event. The Canadian impressed last time out, as she won all three qualifying rounds at Wimbledon and made the second-round. This follows an impressive Grand Slam debut at Roland Garros where she went one better and reached round three. The rising star has won five titles this season, all at lower level, and will be hoping to make an impression here this week.
Potapova may be rusty after some time away and that may benefit the youthful Mboko, who will be aiming for a statement victory. The Canadian’s playing style, which already has a remarkable level of variety at such a young age, could cause problems for the Russian and she possesses the game to cause an upset.
