Dalma Galfi vs Anastasia Potapova prediction

Anastasia Potapova is back inside the top 40 and looks a real danger on clay in 2026.

The Austrian reached the final in Linz and arrives in Rome on the back of a semi-final charge in Madrid.

The world number 38 will feel good about her chances against Dalma Galfi, who has managed just four tour-level wins this year. 

However, two of those did come in Madrid, so the world number 119 may well be a bigger threat than most factors suggest – but we still side with Potapova on this one.
