Anisimova v Siniakova: live stream details and Australian Open second-round preview

Amanda Anisimova meets Katerina Siniakova in the Australian Open second round on hard courts on 22 January, a best-of-three contest with live stream options and live updates available.

With the 2026 season only three weeks old, the numbers are still settling, but the market has Anisimova as a clear favourite despite both players arriving with identical 7-3 records over their last 10 matches.

Small-sample hard-court edges so far

Siniakova is 3-2 on hard courts this season, while Anisimova is 2-1, underlining how early the schedule still is. The sharper split comes on break points: Siniakova is converting 64% and saving 58%, numbers that hint at steadier control in the key games. Anisimova sits at 56% converted and 50% saved, with slightly shorter matches on average at 17.3 games compared with 19.

Fast starts versus late-set resilience

Over the last 10 matches, both are 7-3, but the routes there look different. Siniakova’s first-set win rate is 90% and her return games won sits at 40%, a combination that can put early pressure on any opponent.

Anisimova has the bigger ace rate at 3.2 per match and a higher service-hold mark at 78%, yet her first-set figure is 40% and her deciding-set win rate is 80%, suggesting she has often needed time to find her range.

Opening-set pressure could decide the tone

Siniakova’s best path is to make the return count early, because her recent figures show she is winning a healthy share of return games and converting chances at 61% across the last 10. Anisimova, ranked 4th, is priced to control the baseline exchanges, but she may need a cleaner start than her recent first-set rate suggests.

Workload is not extreme for either, yet Anisimova has logged 8 hours 32 minutes across her last five matches compared with Siniakova’s 6 hours 40, and in a season still in its early weeks, small physical margins can matter.
