Amanda Anisimova Reacts After Avenging Wimbledon Loss to Iga Swiatek

The US Open is the perfect stage for redemption! Amanda Anisimova came in fresh off a tough Wimbledon final loss to Iga Swiatek. Montreal and Cincinnati didn’t go her way, but as the eighth seed in New York, she showed she’s got the grit and skill. Taking down her rival, she punched her ticket to her maiden US Open semifinal!

Remember that brutal defeat at Centre Court in London just a month ago? A 6-0, 6-0 drubbing where she had no answer for Swiatek’s fiery power in only 57 minutes! But on Wednesday, at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Anisimova flipped the script, pulling off a stunning straight-sets upset, 6-4, 6-3! The turnaround brought her immense joy.

In her post-match interview, the 24-year-old was glowing. “Playing here is so freaking special. I’ve been having the run of my life here,” Amanda said. But her mindset? That’s what propelled this victory!

“When I got here I was like, ‘Ok, let’s try and get through one round.’ This has been such a dream. To come back from Wimbledon like that is really special to me. I feel like I worked so hard to turn around from that. Today proved everything for me. I can do it. This is really special.” It was no small win either.
