Aryna Sabalenka vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Aryna Sabalenka will be aiming to go one better in Rome this year.
The Belarusian, who has won the last two WTA 1000 events, finished as runner-up in 2024 but her red-hot form since Jnauary will give her great belief of landing the trophy.
The three-time Grand Slam champion meets Anastasia Potapova first up after the Russian came from behind to sink Dayana Yastremska in the first round.
Sabalenka won their only previous meet 6-1 6-2 in Stuttgart two years ago and the world number one is in a zone on her own right now so a similar scoreline seems likely.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Anastasia Potapova tip: Aryna Sabalenka to win 2-0
