Amanda Anisimova, 23, American, No. 13 in the world, French Open Semifinalist 2019, aggressive and fast baseline player with powerful groundstrokes. Having taken a mental health break in 2023, Anisimova rebounded in 2025 with a Doha WTA 1000 title and a runner-up finish at Queen's Club last week. Anisimova was better than fine in 2025: 24-11 and 5-1 on grass. She has been able to dictate points with her forehand and serve, great assets given the fast courts in Berlin. In the Round of 16 on June 19, 2025, she served 8 aces and recorded 3 double faults while beating Magdalena Frech 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. She achieved 74% first-serve points won and converted 5 out of 8 break points. Her statistics on grass in 2025 are a 5-1 record, with 82% first-serve points won (according to Kartal's match at Queen's), and an average of 9 aces per match. Among her recent results that bolster her confidence is her run at Queen's Club, where she upset Emma Navarro and Qinwen Zheng. "I'm so happy to be through this match-I've never gotten a win over her," she said after beating Zheng (BBC Sport). On X, the account @TennisUpdates25 wrote, "Anisimova is less streaky, and her being favorite makes sense.”
🇷🇺 Liudmila Samsonova
In the tennis world, 26-year-old Russian Liudmila Samsonova, a towering athlete, ranks World No. 20 with a booming serve and aggressive all-court game. Strasbourg 2025 finalist, she has shown her resilience on grass with career numbers of 30-15 on the surface. Samsonova is 19-14 for 2025, 2-1 on grass. That clutch mentality came through the Berlin win against Jessica Pegula where she saved two match points in a 6-7(8), 7-5, 7-6(5) thriller on June 18, 2025. She put in 10 aces against 4 double faults, winning 68% of first-serve points, while converting 3 out of 5 break points. Her grass stats now read: 2-1 record, 70% of first-serve points won, 4.3 double faults per match average in 2025. AP News went on to say, "Samsonova saved two match points before beating third-ranked Jessica Pegula," underscoring her grit. On X, @KLattiger posted, "No way this price is correct," hinting that Samsonova's odds at +124 were undervalued. Her grass-court experience combined with her recent form is more than enough for her to be a scary opponent.

Anisimova to Win First Set ~ (1.87, Betway):
Anisimova has an 82% first-serve points won percentage and has won four of five first sets on grass in 2025, making her a very good value pick. Her fast starts against Frech and Zheng correspond to Stats Insider's 76% winning chance for Anisimova.
Over 21 Games ~ (1.61, 1xbet):
The aggressive nature of both players in their H2H matches, which average 22 games, makes this a good bet. Samsonova has a three-set inclination (2/3 grass matches), and Anisimova thrives in tight matches, which forecast a high number of games supported by Dimers.com.
