Potapova Enjoying a Stellar Season
21-year-old Russian Anastasia Potapova is having quite a season; she is now 25-16, ranked #59 (a career-best feat) and won her first WTA title in just April in Istanbul.
Additionally, she has made it to consecutive semifinals in her last two events in Lausanne and Hamburg, losing to Olga Danilovic and Anett Kontaveit. However, it was not before she beat a few veterans like Irina-Camelia Begu and Barbora Krejcikova.
With this kind of momentum and the resulting confidence, Potapova makes for a wonderful dark horse in this year’s Prague Open.
However, should she survive the Zhu challenge, she will meet Kontaveit, who looks more and more like her former self. Nonetheless, that’s a problem for another day – for now, a quarterfinal result in Prague should only make her more mature and prepared for the US swing.
For now, she is off to a solid start with a 6-1, 6-2 rout of Xinyu Wang in round one.

Zhu, Capable of Surprises
World No. 100 Lin Zhu has got a couple of things going on for her. She is far more experienced than Potapova at 28 years of age and has a respectable tally of 25-17 in 2022.
Her highlights include a doubles runner-up feat in WTA Abierto Zapopan and two ITF titles in ITF Monastir and Guanajuato Open. All of these came on hard courts, making her case stronger in Prague. In fact, Lin has fared well on this surface this season.
That said, she did fall to the #341 Eva Alvarez early in ITF Vitoria-Gasteiz last week, so consistency is something she is yet to deliver of late.
Zhu’s campaign in the competition began with a 6-1, 6-1 whitewash of Vitalia Diatechenko.
Potapova v Zhu Prediction and Tip
The match can go either way. Both players are well-matched, and while Potapova has a superior WTA track record, Zhu is more mature and has some fondness for hard courts that can benefit her here.
Expect a close encounter.
