Amanda Amanda Anisimova made the second consecutive final match, and the defender Arena Sapalinesa faces Saturday (4 pm East time, ESPN) at the United States Open Women’s Finals. Anisimova SARABLINKA disturbed Wimbledon in July, but Sabalinka, the first seed, has shot this tournament only one.
Our experts weigh how each of them can withdraw victory.
What can Anisimova do to defeat Sabalenka?
Darcy Maine: Well, first, get some sleep! After a rapid shift between her victory in the quarter -finals on Wednesday over Iga Swiatek and her semi -final match on Thursday, Anzemova took approximately three hours later to defeat Naomi Osaka early on Friday. It might seem ridiculous, but since Sabalenka had four days before her semi -finals (given the withdrawal of Marketa Vondrousov with a pre -match injury), and very early on Thursday, Anisimova definitely has some knees in terms of comfort and recovery.
But regardless of this, Anzemova knows what is necessary to defeat the world number 1. She did this in six of its nine professional meetings and has proven that it is more than that of the largest stages of sport in Wimbledon earlier this summer. You will need to bring its strong blows, the aggression of brands, the amazing mental strength and the will to win – in addition to getting some free points for it – and fully benefit from the crowd that will be behind it firmly. The first main title feels at hand.
Bill Connect: Keeping hunting. One of the secrets that achieved the success of Anisimova against Sabalinka won the longest points, but does not win it by waiting for Sabalinka. According to the match you draw in the summary tennis, Anisimova won 12 points from 18 points with gatherings of seven or more shots in the semi -finals of Wimbledon, and 10 out of 12 winners or forced errors.
Once again in its victory over its direct groups over the Sabalenka in Toronto last year, 11 of the 16 points won with five winners and forced mistakes. It takes the battle to Sabalenka like a little box, but it is patient about it, and when you find the ball that you are looking for, it will benefit from it. Do it again, and you will be the champion of the four major championships.
Simon Camps: Keep doing what she was doing! This was an incredible championship for Anissimova, and it is an impressive reset after what happened in the Wimbledon final. Hyprick should have gave her tremendous confidence. It was equally impressive, mentally, to hit Osaka to reach the final.
Anissimova Sabalenka 6-3 leads to her head and hit her in Wimbledon, so you know what to do. It is a background that has a match for anyone, and if it continues to move the road, you will imagine its chances. You can feel nervous, of course, in front of a crowd of floral houses, but it looks like it will be more inspiring and transcending it, in many ways, that she has what she loses. Just go out there and break the ball.
What can Sabalinka do to defeat Anisimova?
who: Sabalenka did not hide that the loss against Anisimova in Wimbledon crushed it. But she pledged to learn from him and took some time to reset. I seemed to do so, and on Thursday she was about her last match. During their confrontation with All England Club, Sabalenka said that she was asking about making decisions throughout the match and led to unsuccessful mistakes. I acknowledged that you should change for a different result.
“She gave her a lot of opportunities, and of course, I played incredible tennis, but I feel I had opportunities,” said Sabalinka. “I didn’t use it, and I feel that the key to me will just go out there, of course, like fighting clearly, but trust my decisions and notice my shots.”
Sabalenka has now reached three main finals this season – in an American confrontation every time – but she is still looking for her first title per year. This weighs its shoulders, but it will need to adjust any additional pressure and simply focus on playing its ticking brand.
Connect: She must bear some risks to her service. These two Balfa have made four games against each other since the beginning of 2024, and the difference in the success of Saabalenka’s success in winning and loss was dramatic. In her wins, she won at least 73 % of her first points and 58 % of her second points in both cases; In her losses, she won more than 60 % of her first offers and less than 50 % of her second offers.
In her victory over Anisimova in Roland Garros this year, Sabalinka got fewer than the first presentations and became more than her loss in Wimbledon, but she also served much more and facing much lower points. It tends to win the shortest points against Anissimova, and there is no better way to create shorter points than Big Serves.
Cameras: It seems funny to say, given that Sabalenka has reached at least the semi -finals of all four four tournaments this year, but it seems to me as if it is not playing completely now as it was in Australia at the beginning of the year. Her service seemed somewhat fragile at times, with fewer touches than usual, while she also counted some double errors more than this time last year. She has been pushed strongly in three of her five matches here.
Therefore, if she wants to win, she needs to serve well, and work in a high rate, because Anisimova was crushing her revenues. You will also need to use her experience, and to deal with what will be a party crowd. At its best, she knows that she can overcome anyone, so it comes to directing everything she has, all her energy, to one big boost to accomplish the task.
Who will win?
Bam evil: I find this final challenge. On the one hand, I feel that Anisimova-with the end of the late early Friday morning, defeated Naomi Osaka in the 35-games Marathon, one after defeating Swimik-it can be outside the gas. On the other hand, between the SABALENKA demons this year late in the hands of the Americans and the feeling of Anissimova from the fate to win the next pioneer after its defeat in Wimbledon, Anzemova may have the edge. You can file a case for either of them.
If Anisimova is able to physically and emotionally recover from the quarter -finals winning and hitting the ball as she did in the third group of Osaka’s victory, Amanda Anisimova will be the third American woman to win a desire this year. It is a convincing final.
who: Logically, this is sabalenka’s winning. She is a defending hero, greatly tormented, with greater experience alongside her, and perhaps hungry ever to win. But there is something about the operation of Anissimova that looks like fate. I simply cannot choose against the favorite crowd after all. I achieved this tournament and proved to itself and the world. Anissimova in three groups. (Why not, right?)
Connect: I am going with Sabalenka, primarily because someone’s idea wins 23 Grand Slam in one year and no Taking the title breaks my mind. It is clear that Anissimova is well identical to it, but they are still dividing the four matches since Anisimova returned to the exactly one-sided match-SABALNACA is very good to not win the championship this year. right?
However, the more this goes, the greater what Anisimova prefers. The seven previous losses of ansimova (not including the retirement of the injury in May) were all in successive groups. If you allow her to roam, you will punish you. It is either sabalenka in straight groups or ansimova in three. Give me the previous.
Cameras: For me, there are four things in playing here, and they all lead me to the belief that Anisimova can win this. First, all the pressure is on the sabaalenka, as a defender. Second, the crowd will play a big role, with every point that Anisimova, born in New Jersey, shines.
Third, if Anisimova scores 6-3 on Sabalinka, it means that she is entering into the match with faith and trust, knowing what she needs to do and that she did so several times, including her latest battle in Wimbledon. And the fourth, the way I recovered from the final double bread in the Wimbledon championship is not only impressive, but it gives it so much confidence that I think it will play well in the final as I did on the way there. The fictional return will be, and there is a great opportunity to happen.
