Karolina Muchova vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Karolina Muchova advanced to the round-of-16 in Beijing as her opponent Paula Badosa was forced to retire at 4-2 down. The Spaniard was only just making her return to the WTA Tour following a back problem but seemed to struggle with her movement in the opening exchanges and unfortunately had to call it quits.
The Czech will now play Amanda Anisimova in the next round. The American defeated Shuai Zhang in straight sets to get through. Anisimova trailed her opponent for much of the first set, only to break back at 5-4 down when Zhang was serving for the set. A lengthy tiebreak saw the two-time Grand Slam finalist save two set points before finally clinching it 13-11. It was complete domination for Anisimova after that as she dominated Zhang in the second set to win 7-6 6-0.
This stands as one of the most intriguing matches in the round-of-16 between two high quality players on this surface. Anisimova’s powerful game might just be enough to get her through, but she will need to be close to her best to defeat Muchova.
