This match pits Anisimova’s smooth power and tactical calm against Tauson’s grit and fluctuating aggression. Tauson has done well to reach this stage, but she’s faced longer matches and more physical toll. Anisimova’s cleaner baseline play and proven Slam record make her the more likely winner if the rallies extend. Tauson must attack early, but it may not be sustainable against Anisimova’s clay-court comfort.
