Potapova Eyes Madrid Final Against Andreeva

Potapova, who entered Madrid as a lucky loser, has upset several top seeds and could meet rising star Mirra Andreeva in the final if she beats Marta Kostyuk in the semis.

After eliminating world No. 4 Elena Rybakina, Karolina Pliskova, and Jelena Ostapenko, Potapova is one match away from a Madrid Open final. She said she is friends with Andreeva and believes she could become a great player. The 19‑year‑old Andreeva has already beaten Potapova twice in the past week, including the Linz Open final, and will face Hailey Baptiste in the semifinals. truewildgame.online
