Amanda Anisimova vs Marta Kostyuk Prediction

Kostyuk is seen as the value pick with some oddsmakers offering her at evens on the money line. She leads Anisimova 2-0 in their head-to-head, has a better ranking, and is probably the most improved player in the last 24 months by comparison.

But I like Anisimova here with the way she's been playing this week. Powerful and extremely commanding and she's beaten a former champion and a current top 10 player to get here. It's the reason she's the slight favorite. The head-to-head is also not a reliable measure of form in this rivalry considering that Anisimova was dealing with a few setbacks in the last two seasons. Give me Anisimova on ML.
