Amanda Anisimova vs Bianca Andreescu preview
The opening round of the 2025 Berlin Open will have two big ball-strikers, Amanda Anisimova and Bianca Andreescu, lock horns in what promises to be an exciting match.
Anisimova, who did not miss out on a seeding by much, comes into the tournament fresh off a first career final on grass in London. The American beat the likes of Zheng Qinwen and Emma Navarro at Queen’s Club, before coming up short against Tatjana Maria. It was her second final of the season, with her having lifted a big title at Dubai.
For Anisimova, the run in London saw her not only improve her win-loss for 2025 to 23-11 and rise to a career-high world ranking of No. 13. She will look to keep the winning momentum going at Berlin.
Andreescu, too, found some form on grass after having struggled to string together results all year. Her 5-5 win-loss includes a notable run to the fourth round at Rome, but the rest of her (delayed) season has been largely forgettable.
Playing on grass, however, the Canadian showed flashes of her best tennis. She beat Lulu Sun and Joanna Garland to make the quarterfinals at the Libema Open but lost to Elena Ruse in the last eight.
