Anastasia Potapova and Lilli Tagger are vying for a spot in the Round of 16 at the US Open on Thursday. According to reports from ORF, a win for both players could lead to an all-Austrian clash in the third round, which would be of great interest to tennis fans.

Tagger will face American Amanda Anisimova, while Potapova takes on French player Kristina Jeanjean. Tagger is considered the underdog in her match, while Potapova describes it as a "tough match."

The outcomes of both matches could be significant for Austrian tennis fans, as they would guarantee a direct berth for an Austrian player in the Round of 16. Both athletes have demonstrated their form in recent weeks and are hoping for a successful continuation in New York.

Alexander Zverev, who has already advanced to the second round, casts a shadow over these upcoming encounters. The Austrian tennis community is eagerly anticipating the outcomes of the matches, particularly the potential showdown between Tagger and Potapova.
