WTA - WTA London - Queen's
Prediction :
Over 20.5 games to be played
After beating a higher ranked player in round one, Britain's Sonay Kartal takes on the eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova. The winner goes into the quarter-finals of this outdoor grass court tournament at Queen's Club, London. Here's our match prediction.
Kartal received a wild card into the main draw and defeated world number 16 Daria Kasatkina in three sets. Last year saw her get to the third round at Wimbledon and has been steadily moving up the ranking list. Monday's win has taken her to a career-high 49th.
The 23-year-old has a 15-11 record this year and a win here will take Kartal into her first quarter-final of 2025.
For the winner of this second round match, there's a quarter-final against either third seed Emma Navarro or unseeded Beatriz Haddad Maia.
Amanda Anisimova also faced a British player in round one. The American had to come from behind to defeat Jodie Anna Burrage. Anisimova has never reached a grass court final but was a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon in 2022.
Anisimova is 15th in the live rankings and earlier this year won the Doha WTA 1000 hard court title.
We tip over 20.5 games to be played in this match.

Our Sonay Kartal vs Amanda Anisimova Prediction
Sonay Kartal won five matches in last year's Wimbledon Championships. It's often a case that British players get some success in their home grass court tournaments and rarely win after that. That's not been so with Sonay Kartal who has been climbing the rankings in the past year.
Amanda Anisimova had a tough first round match but is a former Wimbledon quarter-finalist. This could also be a long match and our Sonay Kartal v Amanda Anisimova prediction is over 20.5 games to be played.
