Golubic Faces Off Against Anisimova in French Open Showdown

PARIS, France – Viktorija Golubic will challenge Amanda Anisimova in the second round of the French Open Women’s Singles on May 28, 2025. Both players are looking to establish themselves deeper in the tournament after advancing from the first round.

Golubic secured her place in the second round by defeating two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova, overcoming a first-set loss to win 3-6, 6-0, 6-4. This match showcased Golubic’s resilience as she executed 78% of points successfully on her second serve.

Anisimova, on the other hand, had a smoother path into this match. She led 6-3, 4-1 against Nina Stojanovic before her opponent retired due to injury. This victory not only keeps Anisimova’s momentum going but also helps her regain confidence after early exits in Madrid and Rome.

The two have met once before, with Anisimova winning that encounter in 2021 on the hard courts of Chicago. As a former semi-finalist at Roland Garros, many expect Anisimova to leverage her experience and talent to come out on top in this matchup.

Experts project a strong likelihood of an Anisimova victory, estimating her chances of winning the match at 84% compared to Golubic’s 16%. According to Greg Butyn, a data analyst with Dimers, “We have simulated the outcome of Wednesday’s Golubic-Anisimova match 10,000 times.” Anisimova is also favored to win the first set, with a probability estimated at 79%.

The match is scheduled to begin at 5:00 AM ET, and tennis fans can watch it on TNT Sports in the UK and US. Tickets for the match are still available, giving spectators a chance to witness this second-round clash live.
