Amanda Anisimova has established herself on the WTA circuit with a breakthrough season that saw her reach back-to-back Grand Slam Finals. She has a memorable run in the US Open 2025 as she won against Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff but in the finals she lost against Aryna Sabalenka.
“It’s been a great summer. Losing two finals in a row is great, but also super hard. I think I didn’t fight hard enough for my dreams today,” said Anisimova
