I wish I had played more aggressively," regrets Anisimova after her US Open final loss
Amanda Anisimova fell to Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open final. In the post-match press conference, the American expressed regret over her passivity during the match.
She stated: "I just felt like I didn't play my best tennis throughout the match. I always get very nervous in finals, and it's something I'm trying to work on.
But I wish I had played more aggressively. She played incredibly well, with a lot of aggression and precision.
She really made things difficult for me today. But yes, I didn't win, so I didn't do enough. That's the reality, and I have to accept it. I think if I had fought even harder, I might have had a better chance. But today, I felt more passive.
