Galfi vs Anisimova

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova
🔥 Career-best surge: 27-12 on the year, already more tour-level wins than in 2023-24 combined. Titles: Doha (WTA 500), runner-up at Queen’s. Grass record 8-2 after routing Putintseva 6-0 6-0 and easing past Zarazúa 6-4 6-3. Her heavy, early-struck groundies have translated perfectly to slick lawns. This is her first Wimbledon main draw since her 2022 QF run and she looks fresher than ever. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Dalma Gálfi
🌪️ Break-through week: arrived on a five-match tour-level main-draw losing streak but dug out a comeback over Dart and produced a career-best top-20 upset of Haddad Maia (7-6 6-1) to match her 2023 R3 showing. Still, she is only 3-2 on grass this swing and most of her 27-14 season record was built on lower-tier European clay. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

🔍 Match Breakdown

• First-strike tennis: Anisimova wins 58 % of return-games vs sub-Top-50 foes on grass this year; Gálfi’s second-serve delivery sits in the mid-80 mph range and was exposed in Berlin qualies.
• Patterns: Anisimova looks to step inside the baseline on even-ball exchanges; Gálfi prefers heavy topspin cross-court forehands—ineffective on low-skidding lawns.
• Mental edge: The American has closed seven of her last nine straight-set wins in under 80 minutes; Gálfi has spent 4 h 25 m on court through two rounds and tends to fade physically in longer rallies.
• Tactical key: If Gálfi cannot mix in kick-serves to Anisimova’s backhand and shorten points with surprise net forays, scoreboard pressure will mount quickly.

🔮 Prediction

Anisimova’s aggressive return position and elastic first-step movement give her control from ball-one. Unless Gálfi red-lines her serve-plus-one patterns, rallies tilt toward the American’s flatter, line-hugging strikes. Expect a short day on Court 12.

Best angles:
— Anisimova –5.5 games
— Under 19.5 games
— Correct score 2-0
