Elina Svitolina vs Amanda Anisimova preview
Svitolina rediscovered her rhythm at the Canadian Open after being jolted early by Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in a three-set thriller. The Spaniard pushed Svitolina to her limits after setting the tone in the first set. She clinched the opener in the tie-break, but the Ukrainian similarly restored parity in the second set to force a decider.
She managed to break Maneiro’s serve at a crucial moment to progress into the next round. She appeared much more comfortable in her next outing against Anastasia Potapova. Without breaking a sweat, Svitolina cruised past the World No. 27 with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 win.
Her opponent, Anisimova, received a walkover in her campaign opener after qualifier Lanlana Tararudee was unable to compete due to a viral illness. In the Round of 32, Nikola Bartunkova left the American tottering in the first set by dictating the flow of the play. The World No. 10 regained her composure and inflicted a bagel in the second before eventually sealing a 3-6, 6-0, 6-4 win to earn her place in the last 16.

Elina Svitolina vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Considering their record, Svitolina should emerge victorious against Anisimova after three sets. The World No. 9 has notably ousted Anisimova on three occasions compared to the American’s one. Even in their last meeting in Montreal in 2025, Svitolina comfortably trounced Anisimova in straight sets.
Svitolina, the 2017 Canadian Open champion, holds a formidable win record of over 67% on the surface. In her last appearance, the Ukrainian produced a solitary ace, scored 61 points and fired 25 winners. She didn’t concede a single break and put 64% of her first serves in.
On the other hand, Anisimova adopted an aggressive route after the initial setback and blasted 30 winners. While she failed to land an ace and committed seven double faults, Anisimova lost her serve five times. She would need to up the ante against Svitolina to stand a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals.
