Amanda Anisimova vs Kimberly Birrell prediction
Amanda Anisimova has never made it further than the third round at Flushing Meadows, which is really surprising when considering her record at other Grand Slams. Over the course of the past three US Open tournaments, Anisimova failed to make it past the first round on each occasion. But this has been the best year of her career so far results-wise, so the American has reason to believe things will be different this time around.
Kimberly Birrell has lost five of her last six singles matches and the Australian is struggling to build any sort of real momentum recently, underlining the opportunity that Anisimova has to start strongly this year in Queens. It’s also important to note that Birrell has never reached the second round at the US Open, exiting in the first round across each of the last three years.
Anisimova is the better all-round player and has huge motivation, not to mention a point to prove in Queens. A fourth round finish at the French Open was backed up by the American going all the way to the final at Wimbledon and Anisimova is well-placed to get through this particular assignment.
