The round of 16 match of San Diego Open 2023 between Ons Jabeur and Anastasia Potapova will take place on September 14.
After her disappointing defeat in another Grand Slam final, this time at Wimbledon against Marketa Vondrousova, Ons Jabeur has participated in a couple of tournaments. Despite battling flu symptoms, she managed to reach the quarterfinals in Cincinnati and the fourth round of the US Open. However, this season has been marked by close calls and physical setbacks. In February, she had to take time off due to a knee injury, and in the first three months of the season, she couldn’t secure more than four wins. Over the past 14 months, she has only clinched one title, which was in Charleston this April.
Anastasia Potapova arrived in San Diego after experiencing a somewhat disappointing stretch with just one victory in her previous four tournaments. This doesn’t accurately reflect her otherwise strong season. Potapova can take satisfaction in her recent win over Alycia Parks, the Lyon champion, in a challenging match that lasted two hours and 20 minutes against the local player, ending 6-2, 5-7, 6-4. Throughout the season, the Russian has achieved five quarterfinal appearances, just one less than her Tunisian counterpart. She secured her first-ever hard-court title in Linz, reached the semifinals in Stuttgart and Birmingham, and even eliminated Coco Gauff to reach the quarterfinals in Miami, USA.

In their head-to-head matchups, Ons Jabeur holds a 1-0 lead. She secured a victory against the former Wimbledon junior champion two years ago in Birmingham, winning 6-4, 6-0 in less than an hour on her way to claiming her first-ever WTA title. Anastasia Potapova is determined to improve her career top 10 record, which currently stands at 5 wins and 12 losses, and will likely be better prepared for their upcoming encounter.
