Key takeaway

The market moved sharply toward Talia Gibson ahead of her SINGAPORE hard-court match with Amanda Anisimova in New York. Court Shark's model still gives Anisimova the stronger win probability.

## The movement started before a ball was hit

On New York's hard court, a low return can skid through before either player settles into the rally. [Talia Gibson](https://courtshark.ai/players/talia-gibson-10221883) arrives with recent match action behind her. The market initially had Gibson at 18%. It then moved 32 points toward her. That is a sharp shift. It happened before the first serve, with Gibson's immediate readiness becoming a bigger part of the discussion than her ranking.

[Amanda Anisimova](https://courtshark.ai/players/amanda-anisimova-10216153) stands across the net without any prior meeting against Gibson. Their head-to-head record is 0-0\. There is no shared match history. That leaves both players to establish the pattern from scratch, rather than leaning on a familiar return position or a known rally exchange. The consensus has them level at 50%, which shows how strongly the market has reacted to the uncertainty around Anisimova's preparation. Gibson's recent activity is the clearest reason for that reaction.

## Gibson has brought match rhythm

Gibson is ranked No. 337, with a career best of No. 335\. The narrow difference says she is still trying to turn recent opportunities into a higher regular standard. She has been active. That matters. A player coming straight from competition can often trust the height of the ball and the pace of a return more quickly than someone restarting after a break. Gibson also brings a two-match winning run into this hard-court event.

Her recent record is 5-5, and she has posted the same mark on hard courts over that span. That is even form. It is not a long slide. Gibson has played twice in the last fourteen days, so she should know where her movement and rally tolerance stand when the match begins. The best-of-three format gives her time to make that rhythm count, especially if she can keep points physical and prevent Anisimova from taking clean swings early. Her job is simple: make every ball matter.

## Anisimova carries the stronger recent record

Anisimova is ranked No. 342, although her career best is No. 21\. That gap is large. It changes the reading of this matchup. Her earlier peak was far above Gibson's current range, which is why a ranking-only comparison misses much of the context around the model's preference. Anisimova has already shown she can play at a much higher level, even if her current position does not reflect it.

Her recent record is 7-3, and her hard-court mark matches it. That is the better run here. Anisimova comes in on a one-match losing run after seventeen days away from match play, with no matches in the last fourteen days. There is some rust risk. A recent withdrawal has added another reason to watch her early movement and timing, particularly on the return. Still, the stronger recent results give her a firmer competitive base than Gibson, provided she can settle quickly under pressure.

## What the market moved on

The market has focused on a clear contrast in preparation. Gibson is twenty-two and arrives fresh from competition. Anisimova is twenty-five and brings more time away from the court. That difference is easy to see. It has pushed attention toward the opening stages, where a player returning from a pause may need several games before the ball feels natural again. Gibson can make that adjustment period uncomfortable by asking for extra shots.

There is no past meeting to change that reading. The match will be played at a Grand Slam event on hard courts, where clean contact can quickly turn a neutral exchange into a short point. Anisimova will want authority from the baseline. Gibson will want longer rallies. If Anisimova finds depth and pace early, her higher past ceiling becomes more relevant than the layoff. If Gibson repeatedly gets balls back and stretches exchanges, the market's concern about Anisimova's rhythm will look more justified.

## What the model says

The model gives Gibson a 27% chance and Anisimova a 73% chance. It favors Anisimova. The view holds despite the move toward Gibson, reflecting the difference between Gibson's current activity and Anisimova's stronger recent record plus her much higher previous ranking. The disagreement is plain. Match readiness has driven the conversation, while the model still sees Anisimova as the more likely winner.

The market consensus puts each player at 50%, leaving a 23-point gap on Anisimova. That is a meaningful split. The call would change if Anisimova showed clear limits from the layoff or if Gibson's recent rhythm consistently forced her into extended defensive rallies. A sharp start from Anisimova would point the other way. For now, the market is emphasizing uncertainty, while the model maintains its preference for the American.

## Methodology and sources

How we build model estimates and where our information comes from.

Model estimates and observed results

The win probabilities come from the Court Shark match model, trained on completed ATP and WTA matches. A probability says how often a player in this position wins, not that one result will happen. The model's number for a match is recorded before play and never changed afterwards, so it can be checked against the result.

Sources and citations

Results, scores, rankings and serve statistics come from the Court Shark match database. The market consensus is the pre-match price for each player converted to a probability. Figures in this article are a snapshot taken when it was written.

Limitations

Serve and return rates count only matches with full serve statistics, which are sparser for Challenger and lower-level events, and the tour average they are compared with covers every year on record. Head-to-head records count every meeting with a recorded winner, walkovers and retirements included. Charts and tables are a snapshot and do not update after publication.
