Anisimova Swiatek US Open

Amanda Anisimova achieved a stunning revenge yesterday by defeating Iga Swiatek, her tormentor from the Wimbledon final, in the quarterfinals of the US Open.

Calm and delivering aggressive tennis, the American overwhelmed her opponent and impressed many analysts, including Justine Henin, who commented on this victory for Eurosport:

"Amanda had a game point on her first service game. But she managed to break back immediately. That was very important. We were very focused on that first game because of Wimbledon (lost final 6-0, 6-0)… But she stepped onto the court with a goal far more ambitious than just doing better than at Wimbledon.

After what she experienced there, coming back like this is impressive. She has incredible resilience and knows how to leverage the difficult moments she has been through.
