Our Amanda Anisimova vs Karolina Pliskova Prediction
Amanda Anisimova advances, but Karolina Pliskova gives her a scare in a competitive second-round duel.
Anisimova is the moneyline favorite here despite her 1-5 record vs. Pliskova. There’s no question that the American has improved exponentially since their last meeting at the 2022 Canadian Open, which Pliskova won in straight sets 6-1, 6-1.
On the other hand, Pliskova has put together a decent start to her 2026 WTA campaign after reaching the third round in Melbourne and annihilating a top-100 player in Solana Sierra in the first round of this event.
Pliskova may have a remote chance of pulling off an upset against one of the favorites in this WTA 1000 event, but she can definitely make Anisimova earn her spot in the next round.
Our betting prediction for Amanda Anisimova vs. Karolina Pliskova: Karolina Pliskova +4.5 Games (ALT Game Spread).
