Amanda Anisimova arrives at the 2025 US Open after a commanding first-round win over Kimberly Birrell, cruising to a 6-3, 6-2 victory at Louis Armstrong Stadium. The 23-year-old American has enjoyed a standout season, clinching her first-ever WTA 1000 title in Doha and reaching the Wimbledon final in an emotional storyline. Her progress comes after a well-documented mental-health break in 2023.
19-year-old Australian Maya Joint is also building momentum with a breakout season. She secured her first WTA Tour semifinal at Hobart, notching wins over higher-ranked opponents, and captured her first WTA 125 doubles title in Cancún. Joint has steadily climbed the rankings, breaking into the top 100 by early March 2025, becoming the second-youngest teenager to do so at age 18.

Amanda Anisimova has showcased strong form on hard courts this season, most notably securing a WTA 1000 title in Doha on hard, alongside a WTA 250 win at Melbourne Summer Set 2, and reaching the final in Toronto (WTA 1000). Overall, she holds a solid Win/Loss record for 2025 of 33–15.

Maya Joint currently stands on an overall 2025 Win/Loss of 41–21. While both perform well, Anisimova’s proven success in deep runs at high-tier hard-court events tips the scales toward more consistent results at the US Open.
According to WTA serve stats, Anisimova averages 145 aces and 205 double faults, with a first-serve percentage of 62.3%, winning 65.0% of those and 48.7% on her second serve. This indicates a powerful but occasionally error-prone service game, capable of producing free points but with some risk. On the other hand, Joint fired 48 aces while committing 116 double faults.
Anisimova, a tall (5’11”) right-hander with a two-handed backhand, combines heavy groundstrokes with pace and depth; she relies on constructing offense, especially on hard courts where her power penetrates opponents’ defenses. Joint, also right-handed, is younger with an aggressive baseline style and has proven fearless against higher-ranked opponents. However, he has been less consistent under pressure.
While Maya Joint has had an impressive breakout with a 41–21 record in 2025 and is riding strong momentum, the weight of recent bout successes on hard courts, plus Anisimova’s richer serve metrics and high-tier tournament experience, make her the more reliable pick.
Prediction: Anisimova to win in three sets
