Amanda Anisimova of the United States will shoot for a place in the fourth round of the 2026 Australian Open against compatriot Peyton Stearns on Friday.
Recommended Pick: Amanda Anisimova -5.5 Games
Potential Payout:$220 for every $120 Bet
Current Form:
It took Anisimova only two matches to establish herself among the favorites to win this year’s women’s singles title at the 2026 Australian Open. Anisimova obliterated both Simona Waltert 6-3, 6-2 in the first round and Katerina Siniakova 6-1, 6-4 to secure her spot in the round of 32. Anisimova seeks to reach her third consecutive Grand Slam final after finishing runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open.
Stearns is also through to the third round after posting two straight-set victories over Sofia Kenin, 6-3, 6-2, and Petra Marcinko 6-2, 7-5. Stearns’ big serves were finding their marks across the net, producing 9.5 serves per match and winning 73.5 percent of her first balls, although she has only completed 59.7 percent of her first serves.Limited Offer.

Our Peyton Stearns vs Amanda Anisimova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Amanda Anisimova demolished Peyton Stearns 6-2, 6-3
Reason: Amanda Anisimova has grown a lot since her last meeting with Peyton Stearns over a year ago at the 2025 Madrid Open. After her breakthrough run at the Wimbledon Open, Anisimova has taken the caliber of her play to another level, establishing herself as a top-5, even top-3 caliber player on the WTA Tour.
Stearns, who defeated Anisimova in that match in Madrid a year ago 6-2, 2-6, 7-5, has come through two solid wins over Kenin and Marcinko, though we are all aware that none of these players share the same level as Anisimova in her current form.
While 5.5 games seem like a sizeable handicap to conquer, I feel Anisimova will use this showdown against Sterns to make a statement of how far she has improved since her loss to the latter in Madrid. Anisimova has only dropped two service games in Melbourne and created 20 break-point chances, of which he successfully converted 8 for a 40 percent conversion rate. She has the weapons and confidence to really outclass Stearns on Friday.
