Arina Sobolenko

The Belarusian “neutral” is having a good time this season, showing high stability, which the competitors lacked. Sobolenko has had many finals, but won only a few of them this season.

The leader of the world ranking won her group at this tournament, she started with a victory over the Italian Jasmine Paolini – 6:3, 6:1. In the second round, she defeated the American Jessica Pegula – 6:4, 2:6, 6:3. Even with two victories under his belt, a ticket to the semi-finals was not guaranteed, so he had to show his best against Goff, resulting in a 7:6, 6:2 victory. Additional motivation for Sobolenko is that she has not yet won the Final Tournament.

Amanda Anisimova

The American tennis player can be called the main discovery of the season, everyone knew her, but the athlete managed to show high results. First of all, Anisimova can boast of two major finals, although she lost both.

The American is a newcomer to such tournaments, although exiting the group can already be considered a good performance. The athlete started unimportantly, losing to Yelena Rybakina – 3:6, 1:6. The second match against Madison Keys was also difficult, when they managed to win 4:6, 1:3 and win in three games. The battle against Iga Svyontek was decisive, in this meeting Anisimova was listed as a slight underdog, but was able to win 6:7, 6:4, 6:2. The American has already demonstrated her character several times at this tournament, so she is in a good mood.

Personal meetings

The tennis players crossed each other 10 times, surprisingly, Anisimova leads 6:4. The last match was very important, because the athletes met in the final of the US Open Championship.

Forecast

Sobolenko is a slight favorite, otherwise the bookmakers could not enter, because the status of the leader of the world ranking affects it. In this match, Anisimova has the same chances of winning as against Svyontek, she created a sensation then and will try to do it again.

Strong and ambitious tennis players will play against each other, both want to reach the final. I’ll bet the total over 20.5 games at 1.7.
