In contrast, Amanda Anisimova has faced a tough season, winning only once against top 20 competitors this year.

Amanda Anisimova vs Alexandra Eala WTA Cincinnati Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Alexandra Eala has been on fire to begin the North American hardcourt summer, winning eight of her last nine matches, while she's also on a five-match winning streak over top 10 opponents. Amanda Anisimova has struggled all year with a 1-6 record vs top 20 players and the American could be set for another tough night at the office in this Cincinnati third round encounter on Monday.
Arguably the most popular tennis player on the planet, Eala has done a tremendous job of adapting to her new-found fame, surging into the world's top 20 over the last few weeks after winning the Washington title and making the fourth round in Toronto, registering an 8-1 record.
Commanding insane levels of support around the world, Eala will be confident of continuing her outstanding form when she comes up against a slumping Anisimova, who has struggled all year to back up her stellar 2025, which yielded two Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open.
Anisimova is clinging onto a top 10 ranking, but she's barely been at top 30 level for the bulk of the year - and that's demonstrated through the fact she's lost six of her seven matches against top 20 opponents. The American desperately needs a confidence boost ahead of the US Open, but Anisimova's not really indicted she's ready for such a performance.
Eala has proven her ability to lift against higher-ranked opponents and her confidence is sky-high right now. I'm taking the 21-year-old to make it six top 10 wins on the trot in Cincy.

Amanda Anisimova Form Analysis
- 2026 WTA Record: 18-10
- WTA Cincinnati Record: 5-3
- Current Ranking: No. 10
- Career-High Ranking: No. 3 (2026)
Anisimova put together a fantastic 2025 season and she peaked at No. 3 in the world in January.
However, the 24-year-old has found it challenging to back up those great performances from last year and she's in danger of crashing out of the top 10 if she doesn't pick things up soon.
The American is yet to make a final in 2026 and hasn't won three matches in row since her best result of the year, when she made the semi-finals of Dubai in February.
Slim pickings for sure, with Anisimova starting her summer with a R16 straight sets loss to Elina Svitolina in Toronto. Anisimova did get a solid win under her belt to open her Cincinnati campaign on the weekend, beating Zeynep Sonmez 6-2 6-3.
Alexandra Eala Form Analysis
- 2026 WTA Record: 31-18
- WTA Cincinnati Record: 1-0
- Current Ranking: No. 20
- Career-High Ranking: No. 20 (August 2026)
Ranked outside the top 50 at the start of the year, Eala has surged into the top 20 and arrived in Cincinnati as one of the form players in the world.
The 21-year-old has won 14 of her last 18 matches, starting with a semi-final in Berlin and a fourth round at Wimbledon before she claimed her maiden WTA title in Washington with an extraordinary run that included wins over Qinwen Zheng, Leylah Fernandez, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka and Jessica Pegula.
Eala backed it up with a fourth round finish in Toronto last week, where she finally ran out of steam in a defeat to Belinda Bencic.
With a bit of time to rest and recover, Eala is making her Cincinnati main draw debut and benefitted from a retirement in her opening match by Elena Gabriela-Ruse while leading by a set-and-a-break.
