Emiliana Arango vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Emiliana Arango reached the final of this event last year. However, she did not win a game against Emma Navarro, losing 6-0 6-0. The Colombian has made a very poor start to this campaign and is still searching for her first win of the season after five straight losses. She competed in Doha two weeks ago but lost in straight sets to Xinyu Wang.
Arango faces Anastasia Potapova in the first-round of this event. Potapova has picked up some wins so far this season though she did not fare well in Dubai, her most recent event, as she lost in the first qualifying stage to Ella Seidel. Her best result of the season so far was a quarter-final appearance in Cluj-Napoca, while she did push Aryna Sabalenka in their third-round match at the Australian Open.
They faced each other in Guadalajara three years ago, with Arango winning in straight sets. Nevertheless, Potapova will be confident of exacting revenge here.
