Xinyu Wang vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Xinyu Wang produced a brilliant display as she defeated Linda Noskova in straight sets to make the round-of-16 of a Grand Slam for the third time in her career. She edged ahead after the first set and broke at the end of the second to win 7-5 6-4 after one hour and 24 minutes. The Chinese player was potent when it came to her break point opportunities, converting four out of a possible five.
She faces Amanda Anisimova next. The world number four defeated Peyton Stearns in straight sets. Anisimova made a fast start and took the first set comfortably. She encountered more problems in the second and was broken on two occasions, but she kept creating opportunities and went on to win 6-1 6-4.
The two-time Grand Slam finalist is yet to drop a set so far at the tournament and her firepower is likely to be too much for Wang in this match. She will be extra motivated to reach the quarter-finals in Melbourne for the first time, having lost at the round-of-16 stage on three previous occasions.
