After a demanding run at Wimbledon, Amanda Anisimova swapped grass courts for ocean waves, finding her rhythm on a surfboard along the coast of Montauk, New York. Known for its scenic beaches and laid-back culture, Montauk offered the perfect backdrop for the young tennis star to unwind and recharge.
Embracing the sea
Far from the intense pace of the tennis tour, Anisimova embraced the physicality and spontaneity of surfing. Balancing on her board and navigating the Atlantic swells, she appeared serene and refreshed, reconnecting with herself beyond the confines of professional sport.
A shift in energy
This coastal escape marks more than just a pause; it’s a conscious shift in her post-Wimbledon rhythm. Friends and locals noted her calm demeanor and her openness to the moment, exchanging baseline rallies for playful paddles through morning surf sessions.
Preparing for what’s next
With her break in Montauk offering both relaxation and focus, Anisimova is now poised to return to training with renewed energy. The ocean may be behind her, but the mindset cultivated in the waves might just carry her forward into the next chapter of the season.
