Who Will Magdalena Fręch Face in Berlin Tennis Open 2R?
Following her victory over Andreeva in the first round of the 2025 Berlin Tennis Open, FrÄ™ch is set to face either Amanda Anisimova or Wild Card Bianca Andreescu in the second round. In the lead-up to the WTA 500 grass court tournament in Berlin, Anisimova played in the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships, where she was seeded eighth.
She defeated Wild Card Jodie Burrage 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, Wild Card Sonay Kartal 6-1, 6-3, third seed Emma Navarro 6-3, 6-3, and top seed Zheng Qinwen 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 to secure her place in the final in London. In the championship match, the American faced qualifier Tatjana Maria and finished runner-up after losing 3-6, 4-6.
Meanwhile, Andreescu began her grass court season at the 2025 Libéma Open, aiming to improve her runner-up finish from last year. She triumphed over qualifier Joanna Garland 6-1, 6-3 and Lulu Sun 6-0, 6-4 in the first and second rounds, respectively. However, her run ended in the quarterfinals, where she was defeated 2-6, 4-6 by the eventual runner-up, Elena-Gabriela Ruse.
At the WTA level, FrÄ™ch has neither faced Anisimova nor Andreescu, and both these potential second-round matches will offer fans a new faceoff that they haven’t seen before on the Tour.
