I hope it doesn't discourage her," says Connors about Anisimova
Amanda Anisimova just broke into the Top 10 thanks to her Wimbledon final. Unfortunately for her, the American lost 6-0, 6-0, a result that could have a negative impact on her future.
For Jimmy Connors, quoted by *The Tennis Gazette*, she must not let it get her down: "I hope it doesn't discourage her. It's a tough blow. But I hope it doesn't discourage her because she’s come a long way.
She has that little something that says, ‘No matter the score, I’m going to keep watching.’ I saw part of her semifinal and how she played and overcame adversity.
There’s something about her that captivates me. I don’t know if it’s her style, her attitude, or just her way of doing things. I haven’t seen her play enough yet, but she’s got something.
I’ll tell you this: tennis needs someone like her, someone who captivates you and keeps you watching no matter what.
