US Open today: Anastasia Potapova - Amanda Anisimova
Austria's last remaining singles hope in New York will face the conqueror of Lilli Tagger in round three. LIVE info:
A really tough task awaits Anastasia Potapova on Saturday (from 5:00 PM in the LIVE ticker) in the third round of the US Open.
The ÖTV player will face Amanda Anisimova (USA), who is seeded number ten.
Anisimova should be familiar to tennis fans not only because she reached the US Open final last year, but also because she eliminated Tyrolean Lilli Tagger in three sets in round two.
For Potapova, who is seeded number 24 at Flushing Meadows, it's about reaching the US Open round of 16 for the first time. Possible round of 16 opponents would be Mirra Andreeva (RUS/WTA-5th) or Nikola Bartunkova (CZE/WTA-34th).
The match between Potapova and Anisimova is scheduled as the first match of the day in Louis Armstrong Stadium - the second-largest court.
