Amanda Anisimova vs Karolina Muchova Preview

Amanda Anisimova eased into the fourth round of the China Open for the second year in a row with a valiant performance against local player Zhang Shuai. This was expected to be a comfortable third-round match for the big-hitting American, but it was far from a walk in the park, particularly in the opening set, where Zhang came so close to winning it.

Anisimova trailed 3-5, but broke back when Zhang served for the set at 5-4.  Anisimova then led 5-1 in the tiebreak and had four successive set points at 6-2 up. Remarkably, she could not convert any and had two more after that, which she spurned. Zhang had three set points of her own in the breaker, before Anisimova sealed it 13-11.

After all that drama, Anisimova was composed in the second set as she powered past Zhang 6-0 to win the match in 89 minutes. Anisimova hit 7 aces and 4 double faults in total. She landed 55% of first serves in play and won 82% of first serve points (27/33). Anisimova won 52% of second serve points (14/27) and saved one of two break points.

Karolina Muchova also reached the fourth round for the second year in Beijing after making the final last season. But the Czech only played for six games in her match against Paula Badosa before the Spaniard retired. Muchova had won her opening match last week over Sorana Cirstea 6-2, 6-3. She is 22-13 for the season. Muchova has won six of her past eight matches.

Anisimova leads the head-to-head 1-0, although their match at the 2022 French Open ended in retirement.

Amanda Anisimova vs Karolina Muchova Prediction

The overs in the total games is a strong angle to look at here. Anisimova will try to punch through with her power and she’s got an abundance to play opponents off the court. But Muchova with her slicing and net ventures, can negate all that. We can’t forget that Muchova reached the final in this tournament last year, so she loves to play in this event. This might not be as straightforward for Anisimova as the odds suggest.
