Potapova Continues Linz Dominance Run
Anastasia Potapova advanced to the semifinal in Linz with a 7-6, 6-0 win over compatriot Lilli Tagger. She recovered from losing a 4-2 lead and trailing 3-5 in the tiebreak to take control of the match.
With this victory, she extends her winning streak in tour-level clay quarterfinals to seven matches, although she has converted only two of those into finals.
Potapova had struggled for consistency since the second half of last year, and an early exit in her Cluj-Napoca title defense pushed her close to dropping out of the top 100.
She holds a 6-9 record in tour-level semifinals and is currently on a four-match losing streak at this stage, with her last win coming during her Linz title run in 2023.
