Amanda Anisimova vs Lulu Sun prediction

Amanda Anisimova’s Wimbledon campaign might have ended on a sour note after that double bagel in the final against Iga Swiatek. But that shouldn’t take away the achievement of Anisimova to make it all the way to the end. Seeded 5thcoming into Montreal, the USA star has had a brilliant season so far and at a tournament where she has had success, it would be no surprise to see her in the latter stages once again.

Lulu Sun is no stranger to fairytale runs in a tournament and thrives off of being the underdog. The 24-year-old from New Zealand was good value for her first-round win over Sorana Cirstea and with eight aces to her name along with an 86% success rate on second serve points Anisimova faces someone capable of clutching up under pressure.

When factoring in the playstyles of both these two and the natural ability of the pair, Anisimova stands out. She’s had time to stew on that Wimbledon final and will likely come flying out of the gate here. Expect her to wind up too good for Sun.
