A second-round clash from Section 2 of the Wuhan Open features Amanda Anisimova and Marta Kostyuk with the American slated as the favorite.

At -135, Anisimova is expected to advance past her Ukrainian counterpart although Kostyuk is 2 – 0 against the American in two meetings on the WTA Tour.

Marta Kostyuk endured a 2:38 three-set first-round match against upstart Elina Avenesyan who recently broke into the top 50 of the WTA Rankings.

Amanda Anisimova vs Marta Kostyuk Prediction: Another Lengthy Battle in Wuhan

• Prediction: Match Total Over 2.5 Sets
• Best Odds: +138
• Bookmaker: Unibet
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated at 7:00 am UK Time on October 9, 2024. 

We’re going the distance and I am not trying to fool around with this offer. Unibet offers the best line of +138 on the prospect of a three-set affair and we will be getting there when Anisimova and Kostyuk hit the court on Wednesday in China. 

As great as it is to see Anisimova back on tour and getting her game together, she has struggled since the end of the Toronto finals appearance. Amanda is 4 – 4 in the last 8 contests and one of those losses came from removing herself from the Seoul event. 

Let’s be sure to notice the three losses during this 4 – 4 run because two defeats were against Qinwen Zheng and the other was against Jess Pegula in that Toronto finale. That is not someone struggling with her game as far as I can tell,

I caught the Kostyuk match with Evanesyan and that was a fantastic game that should give Marta some confidence despite it taking over two and a half hours to get the dub. 

Kostyuk is seeded 13th in this WTA1000 event and has experience beating Anisimova twice at big events. At -135, Anisimova will attract some action from bettors for parlays and I agree with that call but that line is a little stiff for my blood.

I think Kostyuk will take a set from Anisimova so I am putting the Over 2.5 Sets prop on the board for this second-round affair at the Wuhan Open.

AMANDA ANISIMOVA RECENT FORM

Anismova started the North American Tour 9 – 1 although the run ended disappointingly at the US Open after the first-round defeat against Qinwen Zheng.

Amanda boosted her ranking to 39th on the WTA Tour after starting in 2024 and ranked 369th because of the time away from the game.

Anisimova is 17 – 7 on hard courts this season and has a 21 – 13 record from 34 outings in 2024.

MARTA KOSTYUK RECENT FORM

Marta Kostyuk is ranked 17th on the WTA Tour and her passion for fashion is helping her make a decent income from tennis. (Did you like how I did that? Thanks, I’ll be here all week, HA!) 

Kostyuk is 24 – 11 on hard courts this season with a 34 – 19 record in 2024.

Marta has only won a trio of matches in an event once since April in Stuttgart, although it did happen at the Olympic Games.

ANISIMOVA VS KOSTYUK H2H –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Marta Kostyuk is 2 – 0 against Amanda Anisimova with their most recent contest last year at the Australian Open. Kostyuk swept Anisimova at 3 and 4 and beat the American in three sets at the 2019 Madrid Open.

The winner of this second-round affair will face either Coco Gauff or Viktoriya Tomova in the third round of section 2.
