After Two Lost Finals, Anisimova Crowned in 2026?
Anisimova: The Renaissance of a Generational Talent
Before 2025, Amanda Anisimova was a promise many thought was already lost, worn down by a heartbreaking break related to her mental health. But that season, she resurfaced with exceptional resilience.
Now, at just 24 years old, she is opening the horizon for a first Grand Slam title. And if 2025 did not bring her success in the finals, perhaps it was only to come back even stronger.
Anisimova's Revengeful Words
A few weeks after the humiliation of a double 6-0 suffered against Swiatek in the Wimbledon final, she faced her again in the quarterfinals of the US Open. In Sports Illustrated, she recounted that moment:
"It was a new day, a new match, a new everything. I kept repeating that to myself. And in the gym, I saw on TV that the Wimbledon final was playing.
I didn't watch it, but just seeing it out of the corner of my eye gave me energy. I told myself: I'm going to get her this time."
