Match Date/Timings: 03/01/2024

2:00 AM CEST / 12:00 AM UTC

After a challenging 2023 that took her to 209th in the world rankings, Daria Saville is determined to roar back in the new season. Despite a modest win-loss record of 12-13 last year, the former 20th-ranked star has begun 2024 with newfound confidence.

She dominated Dayana Yastremskaya 6-0, 6-4 in the Brisbane International first round, showcasing glimpses of her past brilliance.

Anastasia Potapova, on the other hand, endured her own share of volatility in 2023, but ultimately clung onto her spot inside the top 50. Ranked 28th globally, Potapova boasts the Linz Hall trophy as a highlight from her previous season. 

However, her open hard court record remains a concern, with a negative 11-14 win-loss ratio. Despite never advancing past the first round in Brisbane's two previous editions, Potapova enjoys a direct entry into the second round this year thanks to her higher ranking.
