I expect a tense battle and a close match between Kalinskaya and Anisimova. Both tennis players are in good form: Kalinskaya is steady on serve and prefers long rallies, while Anisimova hits aggressively but can sometimes make errors. Their previous encounters, including the match in Montreal in 2024, have often been long and have frequently ended in a tiebreaker or an extra set. Considering their playing styles and the characteristics of the court, the likelihood of the match being lengthy is high. Therefore, I expect the total number of games in the match to exceed 21.5.
Forecast: Amanda Anisimova's victory in two sets. Arguments: Anisimova is in great form, with successful performances in tournaments and consistency in her game. Kalinskaya is struggling and not showing consistent results, having issues with her serve. If Anisimova avoids errors, a confident victory in two sets is expected.
