Zeynep Sonmez vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Zeynep Sonmez picked up one of her best wins in quite some time as she dumped world number 12 Clara Tauson out of the China Open in the second-round with a three set victory. Both players dominated their respective sets, leading to a decider which was impressively won by the Turk, who raced into a 5-1 lead and got the job done after exactly two hours. Sonmez won 6-4 2-6 6-3.
Anastasia Potapova will be her next opponent. She squeezed past Canadian Open champion Victoria Mboko to advance. Potapova crucially broke the Mboko serve when the 19-year-old was serving for the first set at 6-5 up, taking it on a tiebreak. The second set mirrored the first as Mboko built a 5-3 lead. Yet again however, Potapova broke and found her form during the end of the set to win 7-6 7-5.
We edge towards the higher ranked Potapova getting the job done in this one.
