Amanda has huge potential, butter her career and life had a huge blow when she lost her father and longtime coach right before the 2019 US Open. Amanda is trying to get back to her best tennis, but she is definitely struggling to find the proper mental shape, often ceding to nerves when playing.
After the passing of her beloved father, her mother Olga started to travel with her every now and then. However, it seems that she is not in Rome with Amanda right now.
Amanda shared a nice message for her mother on social media wishing her a good Mother’s Day writing: “Happy Mother’s Day Mamachka. Miss you.”
