Tagger vs Anisimova Prediction 3 September 2026
🔊 In the second round of the US Open, Amanda Anisimova faces one of the most exciting young players of her generation - 18-year-old Lilli Tagger. The American is keen to defend the points she earned by reaching last year's final, while the Austrian has already found her rhythm and is ready to cause an upset. This match looks like more than a routine assignment for the favourite - it could be a genuine test for both players.
Head-to-Head
📊 Lilly Tagger and Amanda Anisimova have never met at professional level. This adds an element of uncertainty to the match, and head-to-head record cannot be used as an additional factor in the analysis.
Lilli Tagger Player Overview
Lilli Tagger has hit excellent form, winning 8 of her last 10 matches, including a strong start to the US Open. In the previous round she beat Tamara Korpatsch comfortably, 6-0, 7-6, which reflects her current level. Her average games won per match is close to 22. She wins more than half of all rallies and her first-serve percentage stands at 68%. Tagger holds serve consistently even against top-50 opponents and rarely loses without a fight - just one bagel set in her last ten matches. Her set-winning record is also notable: she takes close to three-quarters of all sets.
Match Results: Lilli Tagger
Amanda Anisimova Player Overview
Amanda Anisimova is in the top 10 of the world rankings and has been backing that up with results at major tournaments. She has won seven of her last ten matches, including victories over top-tour opponents. In the first round of the US Open, she beat Ashlyn Krueger 6-1, 6-3, holding serve in 66% of her service games and winning 59% of service points. That said, her recent results show some inconsistency: the pattern of wins and losses suggests that even against lower-ranked opponents, Anisimova sometimes drops a set or gets drawn into extended matches.

Key factors
- Lilly Tagger has won more than 6.5 games in 10 consecutive matches.
- In her last 10 matches, Lilly Tagger has won 8 and averages 21.9 games per match.
- Lilly Tagger's games and sets won statistics are higher than those of many of her opponents.

Expected scenario
Lilly Tagger's consistent form and solid play on both serve and return suggest she should accumulate enough games for her individual total to be exceeded. Even if the match ends in straight sets, tight games could still push her past the line. A bagel defeat looks unlikely given her current form.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Lilly Tagger is in good form - eight wins from her last ten matches, with a high games tally against almost every opponent. Her stats show she can compete even against top-level favourites, making a heavy defeat unlikely, and the individual total line looks achievable whether the match goes to three sets or two competitive ones. The pick is Lilly Tagger - Player Total Games Over 6.5.
