Anastasia Potapova is making the most of her lucky loser status in Madrid and will next play 21st seed Jelena Ostapenko. Their third career meeting will take place in the third round. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Anastasia Potapova was granted an opportunity to continue in Madrid after a seeded player withdrew. The Austrian had lost in the qualifying rounds and earned a place in the main draw in the second round.
Her matchup was against Zhang Shaui, and she would secure victory in straight sets. Potapova, who is currently ranked in 61st place in the live ranking, is having a strong clay season. She has won six of eight such matches and arrived in Madrid after a runner-up finish in Linz.
Jelena Ostapenko is unbeaten against Potapova and will be keen to keep it as such in their latest meeting. Ostapenko also won her last match in straight sets, defeating the qualifier Simona Waltert.
She has now won two of four matches on clay and has improved to an 11-10 record. Ostapenko is competing in Madrid for an eighth season.
She has only once made it to the second week of competition, and this was two years ago, as she lost in the fourth round. The former top-10 player is up to 36th in the live ranking.

Our Anastasia Potapova vs Jelena Ostapenko Prediction
Our prediction for Anastasia Potapova v Jelena Ostapenko is for the exact score: 1-2. Ostapenko has never lost to Potapova, winning both times they have met. Though they haven’t faced off in two seasons, the Latvian is our best choice to win, as she is a clay court specialist.
Ostapenko is a Grand Slam champion on clay and also defeated Potapova on such a surface when they last met. This fixture, though, will not be smooth sailing for Ostapenko, as Potapova is having a strong clay season.
