Amanda Anisimova vs. Jaqueline Cristian: A Grand Slam of Futility for the Underdog?

The odds say it all, and they’re not kind to Jaqueline Cristian. At +4.2 (decimal) or +320 (American), Cristian is a staggering underdog, implying a mere 19-20% chance to pull off the upset. Meanwhile, Amanda Anisimova (-1200 to -1500 implied) is being handed a participation trophy by bookmakers, who’ve already started drafting her fourth-round matchup.

Anisimova, the 8th seed and WTA No. 9, has been a relentless machine this tournament, brushing aside opponents with straight-sets efficiency. Cristian, meanwhile, is making her WTA circuit debut against a player who’s won 79% of her matches in New York this year. The spread? Anisimova is -5.5 games favorite, which is basically the tennis equivalent of betting on LeBron to win a dunk contest.

The total games line hovers around 19.5-20.5, with most books leaning toward a low-scoring affair. If you’re feeling wildly adventurous, back the underdog and imagine Cristian serving with the confidence of a 5th seed and returning like a robot programmed to defy logic. But realistically? Anisimova’s racket strings are probably already vibrating with the sound of Cristian’s surrender.

Verdict: Anisimova in straight sets, unless Cristian decides to rewrite the laws of physics—and even then, the spread says she’d still need a 5.5-game swing. Bet accordingly, or risk looking as stunned as a fan who paid full price for a “Cristian Upset” T-shirt.
