Amanda Anisimova vs Caroline Dolehide Preview

Amanda Anisimova played her first hard-court tournament since January, and she’s managed to navigate her way into the quarterfinal. It’s her first of the season. She was not given a wild card at the Citi Open in Washington and had to battle two rounds of qualifying.

In the main draw, she’s beaten Renata Zarazua, Sloane Stephens, and, more recently, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Against the Russian veteran, Anismova played so well from the baseline and overcame a mid-match blip. She won 6-1, 6-7, 6-4 in two hours. In the victory, she fired 17 aces to nine double faults and won 74% first-serve points and 54% second-serve points.

Caroline Dolehide, for her part, upset Top 20 player Daria Kasatkina 2-6, 7-5, 6-0 to reach her second quarterfinal of the season. Dolehide, who is back in the Top 50, is defending a ton of points in the second half of the season, and a deep run at the Citi Open in Washington couldn’t have been timely.

In the victory over Kasatkina, the American landed 63% first serves and won 54% first serve points. Dolehide won just 43% of second-serve points. She was aided by the Russian’s malfunctioning serve. Kasatkina finished the match with 14 double faults.

Amanda Anisimova vs Caroline Dolehide Prediction

It’s an all-American for a spot in the Citi Open semifinal. Anisimova has impressed me the most, even though Dolehide is coming off one of the best wins of her career. Anismova has looked extremely effective on serve and is hitting with depth from the baseline.

I feel she will lure Dolehide into going for her shots early and eliciting errors. We can’t forget that Anisimova is a former World No. 21 and has a higher upswing than Dolehide. This week, she’s showing that. Back the 22-year-old to reach her first semifinal of the season.
