Our Anna Blinkova vs Amanda Anisimova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Amanda Anisimova blasts Anna Blinkova 6-3, 6-3
Key Stats: Amanda Anisimova is 6-3 vs. the WTA top-100 in 2026. Anisimova is also converting 46 percent of breakpoint chances across 11 matches in 2026.
What to Expect: Anisimova should breeze past Blinkova, 8 years after grinding out a three-set win over the Russian in San Jose. Anisimova is a whole different player today than she was almost a decade ago, as she is now armed with the experience and elite skill sets – including the meanest backhand return on the tour – to stand toe-to-toe with the best women’s singles players. Blinkova, who earned her first win of the season, will have to come up with a near fail-proof gameplan to pull off a massive upset in the desert.
