Anastasia Potapova is set to face Shuai Zhang in the first round of the WTA Linz tournament. The match is one of the remaining first-round matches. Potapova winning 2:0 has been identified as a value bet.
Potapova’s Clay Court Advantage
Zhang is not known for being particularly strong on clay courts. She has a sub-.500 record on the surface. Potapova is considered a fairly decent clay court player. While not a savant, Potapova is more than capable of beating Zhang.
Previous Matchup in Toronto
The last time Potapova and Zhang played each other was in 2019 at WTA Toronto. At that time, Billie Eilish had just released “Bad Guy.” Potapova won the first set 7-6(2). Zhang retired in the second set when the score was tied 1-1.
Potapova then lost to Belinda Bencic in the first round, winning only three total games.
