Amanda Anisimova

Yulia Putintseva
The athlete representing Kazakhstan looks good in the current season, she has one won tournament in Birmingham. Putintseva is ranked 30th in the world rankings, she is 29 years old.
At the last US Open, the tennis player reached the third round, where she lost in two sets to Jasmine Paolini. This year she even defeated Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon, although the Polish player was tired in that match and couldn't take it. If Putintseva's game goes well, she can fight for a win in the tournament, but she needs to get past a strong opponent in the first round.
Amanda Anisimova
The current season is going hard for the athlete, she played little and did not impress with her results. She managed to shoot at the tournament in Toronto, where she reached the final, defeating Kasatkina, Kalinskaya, Navarro Sobolenko on the way, but in the deciding match she lost in three sets to Pegula. At the last US Open, the tennis player lost in the first round to strong Chinese player Zheng in three games.
