I didn't expect to play well": Anisimova reveals incredible anecdote before Beijing final
In a press conference, the world No. 4 admitted she didn't believe in her chances in Beijing. Yet, she's in the final... and her explanation is quite surprising.
Will Anisimova manage to lift the trophy in Beijing? Establishing herself as one of the best players on the tour this year (title in Doha, finals at Wimbledon and the US Open), the world No. 4 will face Linda Noskova tomorrow for the title in the Chinese capital.
During her press conference, she revealed an unexpected anecdote about her physical condition:
"I really didn't expect to play well here, especially after several weeks without competition. Also, on the day of my flight to Beijing, I had a wisdom tooth removed.
I think when I'm not at my best physically or when a challenge arises, I play better because I don't feel as much pressure and I just see how far I can go.
