THE PREDICTION

World number 69 Anastasia Potapova looks set to break her career-high WTA world ranking of 64^th very soon after a strong start to the new season. The 20-year-old is one for the future and she has a solid chance at beating fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova here in their first meeting if she can find an extra gear. World number 31 Kudermetova has so far struggled past Viktoria Kuzmova and world number 59 Madison Brengle in Melbourne as the third seed and it would not be a surprise to see the youngster play with less fear to snatch at least a set. Kudermetova remains the favourite on ranking and merit but Potapova to win at least a set could be a shrewd move here on the ever-unpredictable WTA tour.
