Amanda Anisimova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Preview
Anisimova is enjoying a fairytale run on grass this season. She began her campaign at the Queen’s Club Championships as the eighth seed, defeating Jodie Burrage and Sonay Kartal in the early rounds. The American then upset Emma Navarro in the quarterfinals and edged past top seed Zheng Qinwen in the semifinals before falling to German veteran Tatjana Maria in the final.

She then shifted her focus to the SW19 and has impressed so far. The 34-year-old defeated

Anisimova entered Wimbledon having played more lead-up tournaments and produced slightly better results on grass than Pavlyuchenkova in 2025. The American boasts an impressive 29-12 win-loss record this season, including a solid 10-2 on grass. In contrast, the Russian holds a modest overall record of 13-9 but has performed well on grass standing at 7-1.
