On thursday, in the round of 16 of the WTA Slovenia open Anastasia Potapova of Russia will face Diane Parry of France.
The entire two hours of Anastasia Potapova‘s opening round match against Claire Liu required her to exert a lot of effort. She repeatedly came within a few games of losing the second set while trailing 4-2 in the first set before defeating a fellow junior Wimbledon winner 6-4, 7-6. With 13 first- or second-round exits this season, she may not be the most reliable player. But after winning her first WTA championship in Istanbul (as a qualifier), reaching another final in Prague, and earning semifinal appearances in Lausanne and Hamburg, the Russian went on to make her top-50 ranking debut.
Diane Parry arrived in Portoroz after a mixed North American tour, losing to Wang Xiyu in the US Open’s opening round after reaching the semifinals in Granby. She had to come back from a set and a break down to win the first match, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, against former top-20 player Donna Vekic, who put a lot of pressure on her. The Frenchwoman had an agonisingly sluggish start to the season, and it wasn’t until late May that she won back-to-back main draw matches at any level. Since then, she has advanced quickly to the third round at Wimbledon and Roland-Garros, had her first WTA quarterfinal appearance in Palermo, and won her maiden semifinal in Granby.
Anastasia Potapova and Diane Parry are scheduled to face each other in the round of 16 of the 2022 WTA Slovenia Open on Thursday, September 15. The tournament is scheduled to begin on September 12 and end on September 18.
The 2022 WTA Slovenia Open is scheduled to commence on September 12 and go on until September 18 this year. The tournament will have five rounds of play excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.
