Amanda Anisimova is on the verge of claiming her first-ever Grand Slam title at the 2025 US Open, just eight weeks after a historic loss in the Wimbledon final.
What happened at Wimbledon?
The American suffered a chastening 6-0, 6-0 defeat to Iga Świątek in the Wimbledon final, the first time in the Open Era that a women's player failed to win a single game in the final.
Amanda Anisimova could not hold back the tears in her on-court interview following the match.
How has Anisimova bounced back?
Anisimova has worked really hard, especially on her mental game and not giving up, as she stated after her comeback semifinal victory over Naomi Osaka.
She has really shifted with her attitude, especially since the Wimbledon final, and it shows in her impressive return to the US Open.
The world No. 9 followed her quarterfinal win over Świątek with a hard-fought win over Osaka, a match which for a long time looked destined to go the way of the four-time Grand Slam singles winner.

Amanda Anisimova is now preparing to face Aryna Sabalenka, the defending champion, in the US Open women's singles final, with the match taking place on Saturday at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Anisimova has won six of the pair's nine meetings, most recently a dramatic semifinal at Wimbledon in July.
The American has the home crowd in her favor and will be hoping that Saturday is the day she claims her first-ever Grand Slam title.
Anisimova's impressive tennis and strong mindset make her a strong contender for the title.
