Prop Bets: Amanda Anisimova VS Aryna Sabalenka 2025-09-06
"Sabalenka Favored to Win US Open, but Anisimova’s Got Guts (and a 6-3 Edge)"
The US Open final pits defending champion Aryna Sabalenka (-200, 66.7% implied) against Amanda Anisimova (+160, 38.5% implied), a rematch of their Wimbledon clash. Sabalenka, the No. 1 seed, has dropped just one set this tournament and fires aces like they’re free espresso shots (8 in her semifinal vs. Pegula). Anisimova, the No. 8 seed, is the underdog but has lost only 10 games in her past two matches and leads their head-to-head 6-3, including a three-set Wimbledon victory.
Key Stats to Bet On:
- Sabalenka: 3 Grand Slam titles (2024 AO, 2024 Roland Garros), 8 aces vs. Pegula, 67% first-serve win rate.
- Anisimova: 67% first-serve win rate vs. Osaka, 6 double faults (ouch), and a fiery quote: “I’ve worked on my mental game… to believe in myself.”
Odds Breakdown (from JSON):
- Moneyline: Sabalenka -200 (DraftKings), Anisimova +160.
- Spread: Sabalenka -3.5 (+1.95), Anisimova +3.5 (+1.76).
- Totals: Over/Under 21.5-22.5 games (even odds).
Prop Bets to Punt On?
- Sabalenka’s Aces: She’s aces-for-days (8 in her last match).
- Anisimova’s Double Faults: Her 6 in the Osaka semi-final suggest a landmine for bettors.
Prediction:
Sabalenka’s consistency and power should win the day… but Anisimova’s got the heart of a warrior and a 6-3 edge in their H2H. If you’re feeling lucky, take Anisimova (+160) to pull off the shocker. For safer bets, back Sabalenka (-3.5 spread) to win in straight sets.
Final Verdict:
Sabalenka to win the title, but Anisimova to make it interesting. As the books say: “Don’t bet against Amanda’s ‘I’ve-got-nothing-to-lose’ energy.”
