Ons Jabeur v Anastasia Potapova Head to Head
Jabeur’s only previous meeting with Potapova had come in 2021 in Birmingham and the Tunisian had won it in straight sets.

Jabeur Hoping to be Fully Fit
It wasn’t the happiest time for Jabeur at the US Open where she huffed and puffed into the fourth round of the competition but didn’t last too long against the Chinese player Qinwen Zheng.
Jabeur had caught a bug at the start of the tournament and was quite clearly in a lot of strife in her previous wins. In fact in each of her three victories, Jabeur struggled to make it through, stretched a 7-5, 7-6 scoreline against Camila Osorio in the first round and successive three-setters in rounds two and three.
Which is why, it remains to be seen if Jabeur is fully fit coming into this encounter here – at the time of writing one isn’t sure if she will be participating for sure in this tournament or delaying her decision till very late.
Overall too, it hasn’t been the best of seasons for Jabeur who has had her injury issues in 2023 and enters this tournament having fallen to seventh in the world. She will hope she can kick-start the rest of the year with full fitness and a win and she starts off a 1/3 favourite with bet365.

Potapova Edges Past Park
In a match that went on for two hours and 24 minutes, Potapova was able to come through in three sets against Alycia Parks and seal her second round berth here.
Having entered the encounter on the back of five defeats from her previous six matches, Potapova looked to have come out strongly as she broke Parks twice to go 4-0 up. The Russian player soon wrapped up the opening set and then broke again in the second to go 3-2 up.
It was at this point that Parks finally found herself changing the momentum as she broke Potapova twice in a row, earning a chance to serve for the set. While she missed that, Parks got another opportunity on Potapova’s serve at 6-5, finally clinching the equaliser off the third set-point.
The match looked to have shifted in the favour of Parks in the decider as she went 2-0 up but Potapova rallied from that point on to break her opponent three times in a row to grab the win.
Potapova will hope she can do a lot better with her service against a top-10 player in Jabeur as she starts off a 2/1 underdog with bet365.
Jabeur v Potapova Prediction and Tip
