THE PREDICTION
World number 33 Amanda Anisimova has a penchant for the clay that saw her explode onto the scene back in 2019 as a teenager, winning her first WTA title at the Bogota Open before a stunning run to the semi-finals of Roland-Garros. The 20-year-old rediscovered some of her best form earlier this year to win her second WTA title at Melbourne 2 and she reached the semi-finals of the Charleston Open earlier this month on clay before defeat to eventual runner-up Ons Jabeur, beating Aryna Sabalenka in three sets the round before. Anisimova leads Aryna Sabalenka 3-0 in their head-to-head record, with their last two meetings coming on this surface at the aforementioned Roland-Garros in 2019 and earlier this month but the Belarussian finally found some form last week in Stuttgart before a straight-sets defeat to world number one Iga Swiatek in the final. This match looks set to be a thriller and there is a strong chance of a decider, so taking Anisimova to win at least a set is the sensible pick and for Anisimova to win or three sets in the match look reasonable risks.
