Head-to-head statistics Eala - Anisimova
Alexandra Eala Player Overview
Alexandra Eala comes into this match in excellent form - 8 wins in her last 10 matches, including a confident victory over Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the previous round of this tournament. In her last three meetings she has won two, losing only to Belinda Bencic in Toronto. Eala is showing a high percentage of sets won (65%) and is holding her own serve at a good level - she manages to win a significant portion of games on the strength of her first serve (66%).

Her games-won statistics also speak to her competitiveness - she has won more than half of the games played over her last ten matches.
Match Results: Alexandra Eala
Amanda Anisimova Player Overview
Amanda Anisimova holds a higher ranking, but her results are less convincing: only 6 wins in her last 10 matches. In her previous three matches she won twice, but the alternating results make it hard to talk about consistency. Anisimova's serve hold percentage is slightly higher (67%), and her average number of aces noticeably exceeds her opponent's - this can give her local advantages on hard court. However, her set win percentage is lower (57%), and her break-point conversion stats are inferior to her opponent's. Her double fault count is above average, which periodically makes it difficult to maintain the initiative during her service games.
