We expect Potocnik to play confidently in this tournament. First, she traditionally performs successfully at home competitions. The tournament takes place in Slovenia, where the courts are well known to her. Second, the Slovenian shows impressive play this season, winning at several reasonably good clay tournaments.
Haas hardly stands out from other European ITF top 500 athletes. She is inferior to many players in this tournament in terms of movement around the court, so we do not see any prospects for her successful performance. In our opinion, the chances of her victory in the first round are low, as Potocnik is stronger both in movements around the court and service return, which is likely to predetermine the outcome of the meeting.
Our prediction: Potocnik to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.51
