Late on Monday evening, there's a very intriguing match due to take place at the WTA event in Merida, Mexico, where Emiliana Arango and Anastasia Potapova will do battle. This is a match between two players coming off the back of straight-set defeats. Clearly, the Colombian competitor has struggled to be at her best in 2026, losing five out of five, but she is now returning to a venue that she likes. She reached the final of this event last year, so this could be just the change of scenary that she needs to start competing again.
As for Potapova, well, the Russian has certainly performed better than Arango on the whole at the start of the new season, but she hasn't been too consistent. Now ranked at 91 in the world, she arrives here off the back of consecutive straight-set defeats, so even though she's up against an out-of-form player, she may not be too confident.

Our Emiliana Arango vs Anastasia Potapova Prediction
Sure, Emiliana Arango is badly out of form. She's lost each of her five matches in 2026, losing each without winning a set too. However, her opponent isn't in great form either, and if we consider that the Colombian made the final of this event a year ago, she starts to look a little leniently priced here, at least to avoid a straight-set defeat.
After all, when the pair met in Mexico before, Arango won, while Potapova has won only one of her last nine matches in straight sets.
Our Emiliana Arango vs Anastasia Potapova Pick: Emiliana Arango +1.5 Set Handicap.
