Last night, I watched the highlights of the Wimbledon final," Anisimova says
Amanda Anisimova faced Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals of the US Open. Stepping onto the court, the American inevitably had in mind her match against the Pole a few weeks earlier at Wimbledon.
Beaten 6-0, 6-0 at that time, she especially did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
In comments relayed by Eurosport, she even reveals having watched the highlights of that match: "No one had asked me to, but last night, I watched the highlights of the final, even though it was painful, to see what I needed to avoid.
But I also watched other matches where I had played better to get all that out of my head.
