The American showed a fantastic dedication coupled with big talent to be considered by many “the new Sharapova.”
The teenager is already making her mark in the first appearance of the season in Auckland after she reached the quarters conceding just 8 games in 2 matches.
In the first round, Amanda won after Jana Cepelova withdrew when the American was leading 6-2 3-0. In the second round, Amanda had no problems to dismiss the world no.33 Barbora Strycova 6-3 6-3.
