Reigning French Open champion Mirra Andreeva will face Anastasia Potapova in the fourth round of the 2026 US Open. The match is scheduled for Monday, September 7. Here’s our Mirra Andreeva vs Anastasia Potapova prediction. This preview will include a Mirra Andreeva vs Anastasia Potapova pick.
Mirra Andreeva vs Anastasia Potapova Preview
Mirra Andreeva is coming off a straight sets win over Czech World No. 34 Nikola Bartunkova. The match took 21 games to decide. Andreeva won the first set 6-2 in 34 minutes, breaking Bartunkova’s serve twice. The second set was decided in a tiebreak and Andreeva secured the important mini break in the very last point. Before this round, Andreeva earned wins over Janice Tjen and Eva Lys. She has broken new ground this week by reaching the last 16 at the US Open, something she’s never done before.
Anastasia Potapova is coming off a shock win over last year’s finalist Amanda Anisimova. Potapova defeated the American 6-2, 7-5 in an hour and 40 minutes. In the victory, Potapova hit 8 winners and 17 unforced errors. She landed 61% of first serves in play and won 62% of first serve points (33/53). Potapova won 44% of second serve points (15/34) and saved 13 of 16 break points.
Mirra Andreeva vs Anastasia Potapova Head-To-Head
Andreeva and Potapova have faced off four times at all levels. Potapova won their first meeting at the Monastir Open in 2022, but since then, Andreeva has turned the tables and registered three straight wins over the Austrian. Two of those meetings were at Grand Slam level and Andreeva won both in straight sets. They played in this year’s Linz final, which Andreeva won in three sets.
Mirra Andreeva vs Anastasia Potapova Prediction
Potapova deserved immense respect for taking out a big-hitting Anisimova, saving 13 of 16 break points, but it was a poor performance from the American, who gifted her 46 unforced errors. Andreeva is unlikely to be as generous, and I think Andreeva is a tougher tactical puzzle for the Austrian and that head-to-head gives us clear data to rely on. I’ll lean Andreeva here in straight sets.
