Kimberly Birrell vs Anastasia Potapova prediction

Kimberly Birrell aims to stay perfect against Anastasia Potapova in Adelaide.

The Aussie beat the Austrian in both of their previous meetings last year, including a straight sets triumph in Brisbane 12 months ago.

Birrell fell to Amanda Anisimova at the second hurdle at that same tournament last week while Potapova suffered a similar fate before being handed a reprieve as a lucky loser in qualifying here.

At 55 in the world, Potapova sits 51 places above the Aussie, but with the home support in her favour and a strong 2-0 lead in the head-to-head, it’s worth backing the rankings upset.
