Marta Kostyuk vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Kostyuk has been constantly chipping in with valuable results on tour. She reached the final in San Diego and Stuttgart last year but couldn't make her mark. The Ukrainian will be determined to change that this year and register a strong result on tour.
Potapova, meanwhile, made the most of her opportunity in Cluj-Napoca. She captured the third title of her career this year and will be eager to target higher-level events on tour. She has a versatile all-around with great anticipation skills.
Considering their skill sets and records on clay, a close contest will be on the cards in the fourth round. Kostyuk has shown her resiliency against higher-ranked opponents in the past. She should be able to outlast a tough contender in Potapova and secure a place in the quarterfinals.
Pick: Kostyuk to win in three sets.
