Amanda Anisimova and Elina Svitolina close out tonight’s women’s action on Centre Court in the Canadian Open Round of 16 in Montreal.
Anisimova is enjoying her best season yet — winning a title in Doha and making a surprise run to the Wimbledon final this summer. She now carries momentum into the North American sprint as her ranking surges. Anisimova is now No. 7 overall.
After a tight two-set win over Lulu Sun in the second round, Anisimova dismantled a resurgent Emma Raducanu in Montreal’s third round, 6-2, 6-1.
As for Svitolina, she’s won it all here before, taking the Canadian Open title in 2017. She remains one of the tour’s most polished tacticians — steady and decisive. She dispatched her third-round opponent, Anna Kalinskaya, in less than an hour. She’s ready to take on the rising Anisimova.
Anisimova-Svitolina Head-to-Head
Svitolina leads the head-to-head 3–1, including a win on hard court in Chicago in 2021 — their most recent match, early in Anisimova’s professional career.
What to Watch
Anisimova’s power: Her heavy groundstrokes can dominate, but predictable pace makes placement and timing vulnerable.
Svitolina’s craft: Exceptional at changing rhythm with slices and drops—she’ll forcibly drag Anisimova into uncomfortable patterns.
Match flow may hinge on second-serve battles and break-point conversion, where Svitolina’s edge in pressure moments could prove decisive.
Prediction
Anisimova in three tight sets. This will be a close one. Expect a tiebreaker or two, with Anisimova narrowing her H2H deficit with Svitolina tonight.
