Anastasia Potapova and Serena Williams are going to clash in the 3rd round of the Australian Open. This will be the second time that Anastasia faces the American legend. The first time wasn’t that great for the Russian beauty that was brushed aside 6-0 6-3 last year.
However, Potapova is confident she can do better this year as she feels she is more mature.
“Last year I gained huge experience. It was hard for me in that match – it’s always difficult to play with someone for the first time. Especially with her. Now I’m different, more mature. I think it will be a great game, and I will do everything possible to win and show my best tennis.
“For me, Serena is the greatest tennis player of all time. I can’t wait for this game.”
