In the night before Amanda Anisimova faced Iga Sviajtek in US Open quarterfinal, in the revenge her nightmares 6-0 6-0 defeat on the same opponent In the Vimbledon Final just seven weeks ago, she decided to re-set up through the worst experience of her professional career. “Nobody told me, but I watched him back, as painful as that,” Anisima laughed.
After finding some positive accents to renew her self-confidence, Anisima then removed what happened at the Central Court from her mind. But when Sviajtek broke the Anise’s first game in the first match, the 24-year-old could not help Memories to humiliate double bagel from the flood. “I was really good, okay, here we go,” Anisimova is Grimal. Once again wasn’t anywhere to hide
Instead, Anisima wrote another story. Only 53 days after the deviation in Vimbledon’s final, the American claimed to revenge that the first American open semifinals arrive, 6-4 6-3 against World No. 2. 2. 2.
“I’m really really proud of myself,” Anisima said later. “I feel like I really came up with myself and maybe other people that if you really set a positive way of thinking, then you try to do through things, then you can have a positive outcome.”
When Anisima erased the tears from the eyes and exit the center, after it became just another player in Grand Slam to lose the finale 6-0 6-0, it would be completely understandable to leave the racket behind and forget about tennis for several weeks. Anisima suffered the type of experience that athletes holding at night, total collapse at the highest phase in which even basic skills suddenly become impossible.
But once Anisima was protected from the eyes of the world, there was no more tears after that. “I entered the phone with someone, and I somehow just laughed,” Anisima said. There was no avoidance of reality. “I was, like, yes, this is crazy.”
Anisima considered that she lost Vimbledon’s finals without a victory in one game was the worst thing that could happen 12. July, and much to prosecute, it was at the end there was no end of the world. Anisimova, after all, was through dark places before. Former teenagers passed that reached the first Grand Slam semifinals at the age of 17, the death of her father and Coaches, and Anisima skips most of the season 2023. years in order to take mental health.
“I feel like I could really refuse from it really fast,” Anisima said. “Maybe I wouldn’t do the same a few years ago I like this time. I’m losing like that in the Grand Slam final, I think I might prefer more or to stick over for a long time.
“But at the end of the day, it was only tennis to me. I mean, in my life I’m in my dreams, I’m in a really good place, I really wasn’t a few years ago.
“I went through a lot, and every day was some day. It was not the most important thing to me. That’s what it happened that day, and it’s just a tennis match at the end of the day, so at the end of the day.”
Still, the spectacle Anisimova playing the player in the Grand Slam quarterfinal so quickly after Vimbledon finally added pressure. She felt what the world was talking about and arrived at the gym in the morning of Remans to see pictures from Vimbledon’s final blinking on TV screens around the room.
In order to block the 6-0 6-0 reminders, Anisima used a tactic of thinking that she practiced, while it was usually preparation as possible. “I was like, warming to the gym and then like, playing Vimbledon finals on both sides of the TV,” Anisima remembered. “I’m like zone.”
On the other side of the network, the glow looked as reckless because Vimbledon was winning, where he allowed Anisima without grace. Arthur Ashe Stadium was full and felt like everyone was there knowing what happened in July. When Anisima faced ticklishes serving at 15-15 and 15-30 in the first game of match, there was a feeling of despair to crystalling from stands, unusual in such a quarterfinal phase.
Anisima was not held, immediately, departure from 1-0 to a break. However, the American remained Uprot, maintaining positive energy and reinforcing the bouncing around the last part of the court – something she noticed missed when she transferred Wimbledon finals. I think the most important part today really raised, “she said.
Anisima was created as soon as the first return in the game landed and smashed straight. From the relief on the board, it became clear that it would be from the change in the installation and contrast on the surface, it would be a different match. After the Vimbledon Final brutally exhibited the vulnerabilities of Anisimova, she accelerated the opportunity to play on her forces and aggressively targeted to serve the branch.
“I really went there without an ounce of fear,” Anisima said.
What was convinced, a great games that hit Anisimova brought to the top in the top-10 worlds. Her victory over the world no. 1 The Sabalenka Arina in the Vimbledon semifinal promised that Anisimova could cross the title. Instead waking up in the morning the final feeling tired and feeling “red flags”.
After being brilliant after taking it, there is only positivity. “It still feels overreasing. It is the farthest that I went far to the US Open and it is extremely special. It is definitely the most famous victory I had in my life,” Anisima said.
“I have that belief in myself and that confidence I can play on the upper level, and I am really able to move my head with this best three and everyone who is in the first 10.It has been to that long time to have a long time.”
Anisimova will now play two-way bought outdoors at the Naomi Osaka for a place in the final. But no matter what happens on Thursday night, the message Anisima sent him by jumping from the most difficult defeats of his career to his most beautiful victory, only 53 days later, it can last even longer.
