Alexandra Eala vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Alexandra Eala advanced to the third-round at the Cincinnati Open as her opponent Elena-Gabriela Ruse was forced to retire in the second set due to injury. Eala was leading 6-1 3-0 when the Romanian decided that she could not continue. The 21-year-old won the Washington Open at the start of this month and moved inside the top 20 of the rankings for the first time in her career.
She now takes on Amanda Anisimova. The two-time Grand Slam finalist comfortably got past Zeynep Sonmez in the previous round. The world number 10 was broken in her first two service games but quickly took control as she won 6-2 6-3 after one hour and 16 minutes.
The fast court conditions should suit Anisimova’s powerful game, but Eala has already shown her ability to trouble the very best this season and knows how to absorb their power before drawing errors. This has the makings of an engrossing encounter.
