Amanda Anisimova vs Maya Joint — US Open 2R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court 2nd Round

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova (No. 9, age 23)

  • 🇺🇸 World No. 9 in her best season yet.
  • 📊 2025: 34–15 overall, 14–7 on hard.
  • 🔥 USO R1: Dismissed Birrell 6–3, 6–2 in 69 minutes — first USO MD win since 2020.
  • 🏟️ Slam 2025: AO 2R, RG R16, Wimbledon F (l. Świątek) — aiming for her best USO run.
  • 🏆 Titles 2025: Doha (WTA 1000), Queen’s Club (grass).
  • 💡 Strengths: Clean, flat strike; backhand a hammer; noticeably calmer in pressure moments.
  • ⚠️ Watchpoint: New York returns have been modest so far (never beyond R3).

Maya Joint (No. 43, age 19)

  • 🇦🇺 Teen surge season with real belief.
  • 📊 2025: 42–21 overall, 20–12 on hard.
  • 🔥 USO R1: Beat VJK 6–4, 7–6, saving two set points in the second.
  • 🏟️ Slam 2025: AO 1R, RG 1R, Wim 1R, USO 2R — chasing a first R3 at a major.
  • 🏆 Titles 2025: Rabat, Eastbourne — first two tour-level trophies.
  • 💡 Strengths: Confident first-strike baseline game; gutsy in tiebreaks and tight scorelines.
  • ⚠️ Concern: 1–3 in the four matches before New York; untested vs top-10 pace over best-of-three.

H2H: First meeting (0–0).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Anisimova arrives in rhythm: the backhand crosscourt should shape rallies, and her aggressive return position can stress Joint’s service patterns from ball one. When she lands first serves, she dictates with early backhand takes and line changes.

Joint has been fearless all year and will try to keep points short, opening with forehand aggression and stepping inside the baseline. If she overpresses or leaves second serves sitting, Anisimova’s return game can flip neutral points quickly.

Tactical key: Short, first-strike exchanges are Joint’s path; extended backhand exchanges and re-entries favor Anisimova. The composure gap in late games could be decisive on the big court.

🔮 Prediction

Joint’s rise is real and she’ll start fast, but Anisimova’s higher shot tolerance and big-stage comfort should steady the match. Expect the Aussie to land punches early before the American settles and closes cleanly.

Pick: Anisimova in 2 sets (tight opener, cleaner finish).

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

  • Form trend: Anisimova sustained top-10 level; Joint surging but coming off a minor dip pre-USO.
  • Surface fit: Both comfortable on hard; edge Anisimova for weight of shot and backhand reliability.
  • First-strike vs. rally: Joint thrives in quick exchanges; Anisimova wins as rallies lengthen.
  • Serve/Return: Pressure sits on Joint’s second serve vs Anisimova’s aggressive return stance.
  • Intangibles: Experience gap at majors tilts late-game moments toward Anisimova.

Amanda Anisimova vs Kimberly Birrell — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court First Round

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova (No. 9, age 23)

  • 🇺🇸 Breakthrough year capped by top-10 debut.
  • 🏆 Titles: Doha (WTA 1000); Wimbledon finalist (lost 0–6, 0–6 to Świątek).
  • 📊 2025: 33–15 (13–7 hard).
  • 🔥 Slams: Wim F, RG R16, AO R2.
  • 🏟️ US Open: 2–3 lifetime in R1; last R1 win here in 2021.
  • 💡 Strengths: Big first strike, weighty backhand; front-runs when serve lands.
  • ⚠️ NYC nerves historically her weak point.

Kimberly Birrell (No. 83, age 27)

  • 🇦🇺 Back inside top 100; honest counterpuncher.
  • 📊 2025: 29–21 (19–9 hard); QFs Brisbane & Singapore, W100 Brisbane champion.
  • 📉 Current form: 1–4 last five; US Open MD 0–2 (2023–24).
  • 💡 Strengths: Extends rallies, solid tempo control.
  • ⚠️ Slam R1 record 2–9 (0–5 outside Australia); limited finishing power vs elite hitters.

🔍 Match Breakdown

H2H: First meeting.

Power vs consistency. Anisimova’s ceiling is several tiers higher; if she earns early forehand patterns and protects second serve with depth, Birrell will be stuck defending with little counter-damage. Birrell’s path is narrow: soak pace, vary height/spin, and hope Anisimova overpresses in New York’s energy. If rallies stretch, Kim can make it sticky—but she still needs free points from Amanda’s errors to bridge the firepower gap.

Momentum leans Anisimova after a solid summer (MTL R16, CIN R3). Over best-of-three, Birrell’s durability edge is muted; scoreboard pressure likely flips if Amanda lands 60%+ first serves.

🔮 Prediction

The venue history is the only red flag for Anisimova. Given 2025 form and weapons, this looks manageable unless nerves spike.

Pick: Anisimova in 2 sets — competitive opener, then separation once the backhand line starts to bite.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

  • First-strike power: Clear Anisimova edge.
  • Rally tolerance: Birrell steadier, but lacks finishing pace.
  • Serve pressure: If Amanda’s 1st-serve % holds, points stay short.
  • Form trend: Anisimova up; Birrell cooled after strong start.
  • Mental note: NYC nerves vs top-10 composure leap in 2025.

Kalinskaya vs Anisimova

Kalinskaya vs Anisimova – WTA Cincinnati 2025 Preview

WTA Cincinnati

Kalinskaya A. – Anisimova A.

🧠 Form & Context

Anna Kalinskaya

  • 📈 Swing revival: Washington DC finalist, R3 Montreal — a marked improvement after a rocky first half of 2025.
  • 💪 Hard-court record 2025: 8–8, but most wins have come in the last month.
  • 🎯 Cincinnati milestone: Reaches R3 here for the first time after outlasting Stearns in three sets.
  • ⚠️ Top-10 challenge: 2–2 this season vs top-10 players; needs her A-game to compete here.

Amanda Anisimova

  • 🔥 Career-best year: Doha title, Wimbledon final, and a top-10 debut.
  • 🚀 Match tally: 33–14 in 2025, one win away from breaking her personal best for wins in a season.
  • ⏳ Cincinnati wait: First match here since 2022; advanced without playing after Jeanjean’s withdrawal.
  • 🎯 Big-stage performer: Has beaten multiple top names this season and thrives in high-profile matches.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Kalinskaya comes in match-sharp, having played plenty of tennis in recent weeks, but also carrying some physical and mental mileage. Her flat hitting and ability to take time away from opponents can trouble Anisimova, particularly if she targets the American’s forehand under pressure.

Anisimova hasn’t hit a ball in Cincy yet, so the opening stages may see rust. However, her high-bouncing, heavy groundstrokes — especially off the backhand — match up well against Kalinskaya’s flatter pace. If she establishes depth early, she can dictate rallies and force the Russian into defensive positions.

The X-factor here will be Kalinskaya’s ability to sustain aggressive accuracy across two or three sets. If she dips, Anisimova’s ability to flip momentum quickly could prove decisive.

🔮 Prediction

Kalinskaya has the benefit of match rhythm, but Anisimova’s 2025 form and composure in big moments make her the clear favorite. The Russian may snatch a set if she starts hot, but the American’s power game and confidence edge should see her through.

Prediction: Anisimova in 3 sets — Kalinskaya to push but not sustain the upset bid.

WTA Cincinnati — Anisimova vs Jeanjean | Form & Context

WTA Cincinnati — Amanda Anisimova vs Léolia Jeanjean

Hard Court • Form & Context Overview

🧠 Form & Context

Léolia Jeanjean
🎯 Career milestone: Top-100 debut this year after a string of ITF finals, including W100 Bangalore runner-up.
🔥 Cincinnati debut: Came through qualifying with wins over Zhao & Masarova, then upset Starodubtseva in R1.
💪 2025 record: 37–22 overall, 19–9 on hard courts — most success still at lower-tier events.
⚡ Big-match history: One career top-40 win (Plíšková at RG 2022).
Amanda Anisimova
🏆 Career-best season: Doha champion, Wimbledon finalist, top-10 debut (peak No. 7).
📊 2025 hard-court form: 13–6, including wins over Raducanu & Sun in Montreal before R16 loss to Svitolina.
📌 Highs & lows: Impressive runs mixed with heavy defeats (notably 0–6, 0–6 vs Świątek in Wimbledon final).
🔙 Cincinnati return: First appearance since 2022; best result here is R16 (2018).

🔍 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).

Amanda Anisimova vs Lulu Sun

Amanda Anisimova vs Lulu Sun

Toronto, Hard Court – 1/32‑Finals

🧠 Form & Context

  • Amanda Anisimova
    • 🇺🇸 Fresh off her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon (runner‑up to Swiatek), she’s rocketed into the top‑10.
    • 🎾 Titles this season: Doha champion, Queen’s Club finalist, Charleston semifinalist.
    • 💪 On hard courts: 11–6 in 2025, playing with aggressive groundstrokes and confidence.
  • Lulu Sun
    • 🇳🇿 Slipped to No. 97 after early Wimbledon exit; defending points from 2024 QF but lost in R1.
    • 🎯 Broke through in Montreal with a straight‑sets win over Cîrstea (6–3, 7–5).
    • ⏳ Last back‑to‑back wins on tour were nearly four months ago—rust could show against a top‑10 rival.

🔍 Match Breakdown

  • Head‑to‑head: First career meeting.
  • Power Baseline: Anisimova’s heavy, flat drives will push Sun off the court. Sun’s lefty spin and angles can disrupt rhythm, but extended rallies will favor Anisimova.
  • Serve & Return: Anisimova’s elite return game will pressure Sun’s serve early. Sun needs a high first‑serve percentage to keep points short.
  • Mental Edge: Riding the high of a Slam final, Anisimova’s belief is sky‑high. Sun’s confidence is dented by a tough swing and the weight of defending points.

🔮 Prediction

Amanda Anisimova in straight sets.

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

Tournament: Wimbledon, WTA Main Draw – 2nd Round

Date: July 3, 2025

Surface: Grass

Location: All England Club, London


🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova

  • 🚀 Statement win: Demolished Putintseva 6-0, 6-0 in just 44 minutes—her most dominant Grand Slam performance to date.
  • 📈 In peak form: Already owns 7 grass-court wins this summer, including a WTA 1000 final at Queen’s Club.
  • 🎯 Slam-ready: Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon in 2022; also reached QFs at Roland Garros and Australian Open earlier in her career.
  • 🔙 Comeback complete: Back at Wimbledon for the first time since 2022, having risen to a career-high No. 12 thanks to a title in Doha and deep runs across all surfaces.
  • 🧠 Solid H2H control: Leads Zarazúa 2–0 in their career meetings, including straight-set wins on hard courts.

Renata Zarazúa

  • 🎉 Historic moment: Earned her first-ever Wimbledon main-draw win by defeating Wickmayer 6-0, 6-3.
  • 🔁 Slam glass ceiling: Yet to reach a Grand Slam third round in three main-draw attempts; only one R2 showing in 2025 so far.
  • 📉 Mixed season: Entered Wimbledon with an 18–21 record in 2025, mostly at lower-level events and qualifying draws.
  • 🧱 Underdog game: Known for her grit, consistency, and movement, but lacks the power to hurt elite opponents on grass.
  • ⚠️ No top-30 wins in 2025: Comes into this match as a clear underdog, having failed to beat any top-tier player this season.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Anisimova enters this matchup flying high after a nearly flawless R1 performance and a fantastic grass-court swing overall. Her powerful baseline game, improved fitness, and sharp serving make her a serious contender for a deep run at Wimbledon.

Zarazúa deserves credit for her own first-round success, but this is a major step up in class and tempo. Against Anisimova, who can take time away and dominate with pace off both wings, the Mexican player will likely struggle to find rhythm or dictate terms.

Unless Anisimova’s level dips drastically, this matchup should stay one-sided. Her grass-season form and clean head-to-head edge suggest full control from start to finish.

🔮 Prediction

Expect Anisimova to stay in cruise control. Zarazúa’s fight might push her to hold serve a few times, but the American’s power and precision should overwhelm from early on.

Prediction: Anisimova in 2 sets, with a high chance of another dominant performance.

Amanda Anisimova vs Yulia Putintseva

WTA Wimbledon – 1st Round
Amanda Anisimova vs Yulia Putintseva

🧠 Form & Context

  • Amanda Anisimova
    🌟 Career resurgence: Captured her first WTA 1000 title in Doha and reached the Queen’s Club final.
    📈 Grass-court credentials: 6–2 record in 2025, with a QF in Berlin and runner-up in Queen’s.
    🎾 Slam-ready: Quarterfinalist at Wimbledon 2022; making her return to the event after missing 2023–24.
    🔄 Dominant H2H: Leads 3–1 vs Putintseva, including two straight-set wins in their last meetings.

  • Yulia Putintseva
    📉 Form slump: Lost R1 in 9 of her last 15 events; no QFs since January.
    🚫 Grass struggles: 1–3 on grass this season; only one R4 finish in 10 Wimbledon appearances.
    ⚠️ Still dangerous: Surprised the field with a R4 run at Wimbledon 2024, beating Kerber, Siniaková, and Swiatek.
    🧱 Playing style mismatch: Her counterpunching game is less effective on fast grass surfaces.

🔍 Match Breakdown

This matchup strongly favors Anisimova. Her compact, flat groundstrokes suit the low bounce of grass, and her recent form suggests she’s approaching a peak. Expect her to target Putintseva’s weaker backhand and keep points short with her return aggression.

Putintseva thrives when she can drag matches into grinding territory, but on grass, her lack of a reliable serve and offensive firepower puts her at a disadvantage. Anisimova has already handled her twice in the past year on faster surfaces, and unless nerves or unforced errors creep in, the pattern should repeat.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Anisimova in 2 sets – The American is too clean from the baseline and too confident on this surface. Unless Putintseva conjures another grass miracle, it’s likely a one-way contest.

WTA Berlin QF: Amanda Anisimova vs Liudmila Samsonova

WTA Berlin QF: Amanda Anisimova vs Liudmila Samsonova – Momentum vs Mileage

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova 🇺🇸
🌿 Grass surge: Reached the Queen’s final last week; 8 wins in her last 9 grass matches.
⚔️ Clutch under pressure: Came from 0–3 down in the third vs Frech to storm into the QF.
🏆 Season breakout: Doha champion, Top 15 debut, career-best grass campaign (6–1 in 2025).
📉 Stamina concerns: Struggles to sustain peak level through full weeks—Queen’s final & Paris QF both ended in fatigue-related setbacks.

Liudmila Samsonova 🇷🇺
🛡️ Survival mode: Spent 6+ hours on court this week; saved match points vs Pegula in a third-set tiebreak.
🔥 Berlin magic: Won this event in 2021 and owns a 7–2 record on these lawns.
Fatigue factor: Consecutive marathons may weigh heavily here—particularly on serve consistency.
📉 Inconsistent year: Entered with a 1–3 grass record and suffered a loss to World No. 231 just last week.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Tactical edge: Anisimova’s best weapon—the return—matches up well with Samsonova’s flatter serve, especially if Liudmila’s legs are gone.

Shot pattern: Expect Amanda to go after the forehand wing early, breaking rhythm and keeping points short. Samsonova thrives in long exchanges, but may lack the legs to build them consistently.

Psychological swing: Anisimova is brimming with confidence from Queen’s and has had more recovery time. Samsonova’s Berlin experience helps, but emotional and physical toll could be decisive.

🔮 Prediction

Both women are playing inspired tennis, but the fresher legs and sharper return belong to Anisimova. If she serves above 60 % and shortens points, she’ll outlast the Russian. Pick: Amanda Anisimova in 3 sets – expect momentum shifts, but the American’s cleaner baseline execution and lower physical burden give her the edge.

📊 Tale of the Tape

  • 2025 W/L: Anisimova 23–10 | Samsonova 13–13
  • Grass Record (2024–25): Anisimova 9–2 | Samsonova 3–5
  • Berlin Record: Anisimova 2–0 debut | Samsonova 7–2 (2021 champion)
  • QF Appearances in 2025: Anisimova 4 | Samsonova 3

WTA Berlin: Magdalena Frech vs Amanda Anisimova – Match Preview

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova
🔥 On fire: Riding one of the best stretches of her career—Doha champion, Queen's Club finalist last week, and a clean R1 win over Andreescu in Berlin.
📈 Career-best ranking: Now at WTA No. 13, Anisimova is backing her raw power with increasingly composed point construction.
🌱 Grass-ready: 5–1 on grass this year and 18–10 overall on the surface; her flat backhand and aggressive returns thrive on quicker turf.
🧠 Mental resilience: Came through long matches vs Burrage and Zheng last week, showing greater maturity under pressure.
📍 Berlin redemption: Lost R1 in her only previous visit (2021), but looks primed for a deeper run this time.

Magdalena Frech
🔄 Streaky season: Started 2025 strong with a 3R run at the Australian Open, but has since struggled to string together wins (8–15 W–L).
💥 Breakthrough win: Rebounded from a R1 loss at Queen’s to stun Mirra Andreeva in three sets—just her second career top-10 win in 21 tries.
🌱 Grass-capable: Three of her eight career WTA QFs have come on grass; consistent and flat groundstrokes help her on low-bounce courts.

WTA Berlin: Amanda Anisimova vs Bianca Andreescu

WTA Berlin: Amanda Anisimova vs Bianca Andreescu – Momentum Meets Potential

🧠 Form & Context

Amanda Anisimova 🇺🇸
🌿 Queen’s Club Finalist: Comes in hot after reaching her first grass-court final last week, defeating Zheng Qinwen and Navarro before losing to Tatjana Maria.
🏆 Resurgent 2025: A WTA title in Doha, R4 finishes in Paris and Miami, and a career-best ranking of No. 13 underline her comeback story.
💪 Confidence Surge: 7–2 in her last nine, showing composure in pressure moments and winning key tiebreaks.
📍 Second Berlin Attempt: Lost in R1 in 2021, but returns with far more experience and form.
Bianca Andreescu 🇨🇦
🚑 Still Rebuilding: After missing early 2025 due to injury, she’s made a modest return, with a QF run in Rosmalen her best result so far.
🎢 Flashes of Brilliance: Upset Rybakina in Rome, but also suffered a heavy defeat to Ruse last week.
🌱 Grass-Capable: Her power translates decently on grass, with three career QFs, but her movement and timing remain inconsistent.
🧠 H2H History: Leads 1–0 vs Anisimova (Miami 2021), but both players have evolved significantly since.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Anisimova enters as the more polished and confident player. Her backhand has been lethal, and her ability to control baseline exchanges suits the speed of grass. Her return stats have also improved—giving her an edge on second-serve points. Andreescu still has top-tier shot-making, but she's clearly lacking match rhythm. On fast courts, her inconsistent footwork and risky second serve have been punished, and the matchup here puts her under pressure from the outset. Unless Bianca lands a high % of first serves and finds her 2021 defensive prowess, she’ll struggle to contain Anisimova’s front-foot game.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Amanda Anisimova in 2 sets Summary: Expect Amanda to dictate play early and often. Andreescu might have moments of brilliance, but Anisimova’s form and tactical clarity should deliver a routine win.

📊 Tale of the Tape

  • 2025 W/L: Anisimova 23–10 | Andreescu 6–6
  • Grass Record (Career): Anisimova 17–10 | Andreescu 10–7
  • H2H: Andreescu leads 1–0 (Miami 2021, 3 sets)
  • Recent Form: Anisimova 🔥🔥🔥 | Andreescu ❄️🔥❄️
  • Bet Angles: Anisimova –4.5 games | Under 20.5 total games | Anisimova to Win & Under 21.5
