WTA Cincinnati — Amanda Anisimova vs Léolia Jeanjean
Hard Court • Form & Context Overview
🧠 Form & Context
🔍 Match Breakdown
Anisimova has the clear weapons advantage: a heavy first serve, flat backhand that penetrates on hard courts, and the ability to take time away from Jeanjean. The Frenchwoman thrives on rhythm and percentage tennis, but against elite ball-strikers she can be forced into reactive defense.
For Jeanjean to make inroads, she must keep first-serve % high, mix trajectories, and target Anisimova’s forehand on the run — an area that can leak errors under sustained pressure. However, the pace differential and return quality tilt heavily toward the American.
Anisimova’s main danger here is a slow start or emotional letdown after the Montreal campaign, but if she locks in early, rallies are likely to be short and in her favor.
🔮 Prediction
While Jeanjean’s qualifying-to-R2 run is a nice breakthrough at Masters level, Anisimova’s firepower and big-match experience should overwhelm her over the course of two sets. Upset chances are slim unless Anisimova self-destructs with errors.
Prediction: Anisimova in 2 sets (scoreline in the 6–3, 6–2 range).
