Cori Gauff v Anastasia Potapova Head to Head

There have been two previous meetings between these players and Gauff has won them both.

Gauff Eases Past Marino

Following on from her quarterfinal exit at the Indian Wells Open, Gauff did not waste too much in getting back to her best as she carved out a straight-set win over Rebecca Marino.

Gauff won 6-4, 6-3 in an hour and 13 minutes to make it to the third round and is now a win away from emulating her best performance at the Miami Open. That had come last season.

There were a few serving difficulties for Gauff as she was broken in both the sets but eventually found her rhythm and came through.

In the first set, she led 3-1 but dropped her serve in the seventh game. This was followed by Gauff going down 2-1 after getting broken and then again 3-2 when she lost serve for the second time in a row.

She broke right back both times and then for the third time in the eighth game of the set to clinch the victory.

Can she overcome those serving jitters against Potapova?

Potapova Wins Maiden Miami Match

Ranked 26th in the world at the moment, Potapova had a first round bye in the tournament. This came on the back of her three previous appearances in Miami where she hadn’t made it past the qualifiers on two occasions and lost in the first round at the third.

And yet, the Linz Open winner wasn’t quite the favourite going up against Marta Kostyuk, who was 4/6 to win it.

In the end, Potapova proved to be too strong for Kostyuk, registering a 6-1, 6-3 win. The match ended in bit of a news-making way when Kostyuk refused to shake hands with her Russian opponent, much in the same manner she hadn’t against Victoria Azarenka earlier this year.

Potapova was on court for an hour and 16 minutes and faced just one break-point. On the other hand she had 16 breaking opportunities and did so four times, sealing her third round berth much like she had done in Indian Wells two weeks ago.

Gauff v Potapova Prediction and Tip

Gauff is 7/20 to win this which is what we believe will happen but it might take her a bit of a grind to register the win.
