Kimberly Birrell vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Kimberly Birrell advanced to round two in Brisbane after a hard-fought victory over Rebecca Sramkova. She went a break down in set one but reeled off five games in a row on her way to taking the lead. She dropped the second, but it was a controlled performance in the decider to win 6-4 3-6 6-4.
She has a tough task against Amanada Anisimova in the next stage of the tournament. She is the second seed in Brisbane and comes into this tournament as the world number three, her highest ever ranking. She made a huge leap in 2025, winning two WTA 1000 tournaments in Doha and Beijing, along with her first two Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open.
There is a sense of intrigue ahead of Anisimova’s 2026, given the level she produced last year, and it’s likely to start with a dominant win against the world number 105.
