Pre-match predictions

1. As the tournament’s fourth seed, Anisimova was the runner-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open last season. She possesses a powerful serve and extensive match experience, which are her greatest strengths. On paper, Wang Xinyu is clearly the underdog.
2. In hot weather, stamina and mental resilience will be crucial factors. Because in high temperatures, the slightly heavier Anisimova might be at a disadvantage.
3. We look forward to Wang Xinyu leveraging steadier performance and targeted tactics to possibly cause an upset. However, Anisimova’s overall strength and major tournament experience give her a slight edge in advancing. The match outcome will likely hinge on whether Wang Xinyu can successfully counter Anisimova’s serve and whether Anisimova can effectively respond to Wang Xinyu’s tactical adjustments.
