How Anisimova defeated Simona Halep

Amanda surprised for her composure during this delicate match to comment

“I don’t think it’ll sink in [her win]at least not for today. I mean it’s crazy I really can’t believe the result today and to get the opportunity to play against Simona.

Every time I had a lead and I was winning, I knew that I wasn’t actually winning. I mean I knew that she could come back at any moment so I wasn’t thinking about winning or not I was just thinking about playing each point and trying to get ahead and yeah as it was getting closer.

It was very tough, and you know nerves were kicking in a bit, but I was able to make a couple of winners and necessary points and just play the tennis that I wanted to play today.”
