Eighth seed Amanda Anisimova will square off against Maya Joint in the second round of the US Open 2025. The American advanced comfortably with a straight-sets win over Kimberly Birrell, while Joint battled past qualifier Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva in a tight two-setter sealed with a tiebreak.

For Anisimova, this season has marked a return to consistency at the top level. The 23-year-old recently climbed to a career-high No. 7 and currently sits at No. 9 in the world. She lifted the Doha trophy, defeated Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets, and made deep runs with finals in both Wimbledon and London. Plus, semifinal appearances in Charleston and quarterfinal appearances in Hobart, Paris, and Berlin underscore her steady form. A straight-sets loss to Anna Kalinskaya in Cincinnati was a surprise upset, but her season numbers remain strong with 146 aces in 46 matches, 45.2% of return points won, and 44.8% breakpoint conversion.

Joint, meanwhile, continues to establish herself as one of the most promising young names on tour. The 19-year-old Aussie reached a career-high No. 37 in July and is now ranked No. 43. She has already won two titles this year, her maiden WTA crown in Morocco over Jacqueline Cristian and another in Eastbourne, defeating Alexandra Eala. Alongside semifinal runs in Hobart, Cancun, and Makarska, plus quarterfinals in Merida and Puerto Vallarta, her season has been solid, though streaky. In 36 matches, she’s struck 48 aces, winning 60.6% of first-serve points and converting 47.4% of break points.

My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
