Marta Kostyuk vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Marta Kostyuk recovered from a slump in the first set to advance in Brisbane. She made a strong start and looked to be on the verge of taking the lead, but she was broken when serving for the set at 5-3 up and ended up going behind against Yulia Putintseva. However, it was complete domination from Kostyuk after that as she dropped just one more service game, winning 6-7 (5) 6-1 6-0.
Amanda Anisimova began her season with a comfortable win over Kimberly Birrell. The two-time Grand Slam finalist won 6-1 6-3 after just an hour and two minutes. The American is now the world number three and won two WTA 1000 events last season.
Kostyuk leads the head-to-head 3-1, though Anisimova did win their most recent meeting in the quarter-final of last year’s Qatar Open. This is likely to be a good watch, with both players willing to be aggressive from the baseline. Nevertheless, Anisimova is the favourite to advance.
