Amanda Anisimova
Viktoriya Tomova
Women's tennis tournament is gaining momentum in Seoul, here in the second round Amanda Anisimova - Viktoriya Tomova will play their match. Prediction for the meeting of these athletes is made by Dailysports analysts.
Amanda Anisimova
Amanda Anisimova is not very impressive this season, although the final of the tournament in Toronto, where she lost to Pegula was a breakthrough. The American failed to prove herself at the US Open, losing in the first round to the seventh-ranked player in the world, the strong Chinese player Zheng.
Anisimova started her journey in Seoul with a difficult victory over the tough Yulia Putintseva - 6:3, 7:6. The tennis player is now 23 years old and is ranked 46th in the world rankings. Anisimova has potential, which she has not fully realized, but this season she beat even Aryna Sobolenko, who took two Slams this year.
Viktoriya Tomova
Bulgarian tennis player this season, at least not surprising, she did not have loud successes, she won about half of her matches. Tomova has a solid 54th place in the world ranking, she is now 29 years old.
She started this tournament with a 6:2, 1:6, 6:0 victory over experienced German Tatjana Maria. The Bulgarian did not approach this tournament in the best shape, as she suffered 5 defeats in six confrontations. Tomova is not the most dangerous middle seed, she can produce a good individual match, but no more than that.
Match Facts
- Anisimova has won 14 of 19 meetings on hard court this season.
- Tomova is not impressive on the artificial surface, as she has only 11 wins in 25 encounters.
- Bookmakers offer the following quotes for this match: W1 - 1.25, W2 - 4.1
H2H
Athletes played each other only once, the meeting took place four years ago at the U.S. Open, then Anisimova won in two sets - 7:5, 7:5.
Prediction
Although the athletes are not far apart in the world rankings, Anisimova is considered the favorite here, with the odds on the American's success falling rapidly. Since I agree with the odds, I will risk betting on Anisimova's success with a -4.5 game handicap.
