Amanda Anisimova vs Donna Vekic preview
Twenty-seventh seed Amanda Anisimova will square off against Croatian qualifier Donna Vekic in the second round of the 2022 French Open on Wednesday.
Anisimova has been on a resurgent run this season. She began the year by winning the Melbourne Summer Set title and backed it up with a fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open.
Although the 20-year-old briefly lost her way, a return to clay brought the best out of her again. Anisimova made the semifinals in Charleston and the quarterfinals in both Madrid and Rome to arrive in Paris high on confidence.
This was evident in her 7-5, 6-4 win over four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka on Monday in what was deemed a difficult opener for the young American.
Anisimova's next opponent, the 25-year-old Vekic has three titles on her resume and reached a career-high ranking of 19 in 2019. She has made the second week of every Slam, with a quarterfinal finish at the 2019 US Open being her best performance at a Major to date.
However, her career trajectory has nosedived lately due to a knee injury that required surgery. Multiple breaks from the tour have affected her world ranking, sending her tumbling out of the top 100 at one point.
Due to her low ranking, the Croatian had to play in the French Open qualifying rounds last week. Vekic showed her grit and stamina, battling through a couple of tight matches to secure a main-draw berth.
The World No. 100 made full use of her opportunity, knocking out Mirjam Bjorklund 7-6(6), 6-2 in the first round.
Amanda Anisimova vs Donna Vekic head-to-head
Anisimova leads 1-0 in the head-to-head against Vekic. The American edged the Croat 7-6(4), 7-6(6) in Rome in 2020.

Amanda Anisimova vs Donna Vekic prediction
This will be a meeting between two aggressive players blessed with tremendous power. However, the two are on opposite ends of the spectrum as far as their careers are concerned.
Anisimova looks to have regained the stellar form that helped her make her breakthrough in Paris three years ago. She has a fearless attitude and can outhit just about anybody on her day. Anisimova also moves tremendously well on clay, something that is rare for a big-hitter, and has great defensive skills.
It will take a special performance from Vekic to halt the American's charge. Vekic, though, has the tools to make life difficult for Anisimova. She has a big first serve and a booming forehand, with which she will look to go toe-to-toe with the American in the rallies.
However, her movement isn't the best nor is she capable of controlling her unforced errors under pressure, which could tilt the scales in Anisimova's favor.
Pick: Amanda Anisimova to win in two tight sets.
