Horrible news for Amanda Anisimova that withdraws from the upcoming US Open following the death of her father, Konstantin.
Amanda and the father were extremely close as he was also coaching her for long.
The statement
Anisimova’s agent gave the devastating news. “I am heartbroken for Amanda, Olga, Maria, and the entire Anisimova family. The worst kind of news to have to report.”
The cause of death is unknown.
Anisimova and the US Open
Ranked no.24, the American teenager was about to start her US Open campaign. Even if she was sidelined by a back injury, she was expected to have a good run at the Flushing Meadows also because of the plausible support of the home crowd.
Unfortunately, Amanda needs to deal with something vastly more important right now.
Condolences.
