Amanda Anisimova vs Sonay Kartal preview

Eighth seed Amanda Anisimova will face British wildcard Sonay Kartal in the second round of the 2025 Queen's Club Championships. Ansimova has been in fine form in 2025, winning 20 of the 30 matches she has played, including ITF-level matches. Her best result was winning the WTA 1000 event in Doha, where she beat Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 6-3 in the final.
Anisimova's other decent results include reaching the semifinals of the Charleston Open, where she had to retire against Sofia Kenin. She ended her clay season with a fourth-round run at Roland Garros, losing 5-7, 3-6 to Aryna Sabalenka. She began her campaign at the Queen's Club with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win against another British wildcard, Jodie Anna Burrage, in the first round.
Meanwhile, Sonay Kartal has a 15-11 win/loss record this season, including ITF matches and qualifiers. However, performance-wise, she has had a poor season as she has not passed the fourth round at any of the events she has played at.
Kartal's best outing of 2025 came in Indian Wells, where she reached the fourth round, losing 1-6, 2-6 against Aryna Sabalenka. She started the grass season after a second-round exit at the French Open, losing 1-6, 4-6 to Marie Bouzkova. She started her campaign at Queen's Club with an excellent 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win over a top-20 player like Daria Kasatkina in the first round.

Amanda Anisimova vs Sonay Kartal prediction
Amanda Anisimova has yet to reach a final on the grass, as five of her career finals have come on either hard or clay court. She is a former Wimbledon quarterfinalist, having reached the last eight in 2022, where she lost 2-6, 4-6 against Simona Halep.
Similarly, Kartal is yet to make a grasscourt appearance, as her only title came on a hardcourt. Last year, she won the Jasmin Open with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Rebecca Sramkova in the final.
Anisimova is the favorite for the upcoming match as she has been in good form and is the seeded player.
