Amanda Anisimova vs Sofia Kenin Prediction

Kenin is the biggest overacheiver this week without a doubt after being given the toughest draw possible. She gave us a telling reminder why she is still a talented player capable of raising her game when you least expect it. Still, I can't look past Anisimova in this matchup and the stellar season she is having and is coming off a colorful performance against Navarro.
