Potapova Eyes Madrid Final Against Rising Star Andreeva

Published April 30, 2026 · Updated April 30, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Anastasia Potapova, who entered the Madrid Open as a lucky loser, is set to face Mirra Andreeva in the final if she defeats Marta Kostyuk. Andreeva, who recently beat Potapova in Linz, has spoken highly of the Russian‑born player.

Anastasia Potapova, who had nothing to lose after losing in qualifying, has knocked out top seeds Elena Rybakina, Karolina Pliskova and Jelena Ostapenko to reach the Madrid Open semi‑finals. A win over Marta Kostyuk would place her in the final, where she could face 19‑year‑old Mirra Andreeva, the 2024 Linz champion who has praised Potapova as a future star. Andreeva, who already leads their head‑to‑head 3‑1, will meet Hailey Baptiste in the semi‑finals after Baptiste eliminated Aryna Sabalenka. saltysenoritaaz.org
