Jessica Pegula vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Jessica Pegula secured the first double bagel of her career with a statement-like demolition of Rebeka Masarova.
The American will now face a trickier task against in-form Anastasia Potapova, who defeated 20th seed Liudmila Samsonova 6-3 6-2.
This will be their sixth meeting and Jpeg leads the match-up 5-0.
The fifth seed knows this is a maiden tussle on clay with Anastasia producing some great results on the dirt of late.
We expect Pegula to prevail again but don’t rule out Potapova bagging a set along the way.
