Anisimova in straight sets
Ah, nothing quite like a good old matchup at the All England Club. Tennis is served. We have Renata Zarazua playing Amanda Anisimova, where the net is no man's land and love is something no one wants.
Okay, down to business. Let's look at the history here; in their past duels, Anisimova has outperformed Zarazua twice rather handsomely. Somebody call for the fire brigade, cause that's some kind of burn.
Despite recent hiccups against Samsonova and Maria, Anisimova seems to be on a bit of a roll, sending Putintseva, Fręch, and Andreescu home without a souvenir. Anisimova, a 13-seed, appears ready to serve some breadsticks and bagels.
Counter that with Zarazua, our underdog who's been tasting love more often than an Italian at a pizzeria. Her recent ventures are a mixed bag; defeated Wickmayer and Stojsavljevic, the rest of the crowd sent her home quicker than a census taker at a nudist colony. And let's not forget, Zarazua is unseeded like a grape in fine dining.
If this match were a western, odds are Anisimova rides off into the sunset, leaving Zarazua in the dust. Fortunately, for her sake, each match is a new game.
To put it straightforwardly: Anisimova should mince through Zarazua like a hot knife through butter. But would that be in straight or 3 sets? It's like choosing between a good steak and a great steak.
