THE PREDICTION

This will be a fascinating rematch between world number 12 Veronika Kudermetova and number 25 Anastasia Potapova after the pair met at this exact stage of the Madrid Open two weeks ago. Kudermetova won the battle in three tight sets in Madrid en-route to the semi-finals, taking a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head record, but Potapova claimed her maiden WTA title at her compatriot’s expense in a straight-sets victory at the Istanbul Cup, on clay, this time last season. 22-year-old Potapova beat home hopeful Elisabetta Cocciaretto in straight sets on Thursday to maintain her excellent recent form and it has taken a player of Kudermetova’s ranking or higher to oust her from her last four tournaments. 26-year-old Kudermetova beat Nuria Parrizas-Diaz in straight sets on Thursday for a solid opener in Rome, backing up top wins over Daria Kasatkina and Jessica Pegula in Madrid. Potapova has won at least a set in all three of their previous meetings to offer a suitable way to avoid picking an outright winner here but on very recent for Kudermetova should just edge this.
