Amanda Anisimova’s journey to the US Open quarterfinals is more than just a return to form—it’s a bold confrontation with the past. Just seven weeks ago, she endured one of the most lopsided defeats in Grand Slam history, falling 6-0, 6-0 to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final. That match, etched into tennis lore for its sheer dominance, could have shattered a lesser competitor. But Anisimova has chosen to meet it head-on.
A Chance for Redemption
Now, under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Anisimova prepares to face Swiatek once again. This time, the stakes are different. It’s not a final, but the emotional weight is just as heavy. “I’m really excited and looking forward to it,” she said. “At this stage of the game you’re going to play a really tough opponent regardless.”
Her words reflect a player who has processed the pain and turned it into motivation. “To be able to have a rematch or to be able to face her again and give myself another chance, I’m really, really happy about that.”
Confidence in Her Game
Despite the daunting challenge, Anisimova enters the match with renewed confidence. Her performance in New York has been sharp, including a commanding win over Beatriz Haddad Maia. “I feel like it’s going to be a really tough challenge, but I feel like I’ve been playing well,” she said. “I’m just looking forward to it.”
Her tone is calm, focused, and determined. She’s not seeking revenge—she’s seeking growth. “I hope I can put on a good performance.”
The Road Ahead
Facing Swiatek again is not just about rewriting the scoreline. It’s about proving to herself that she belongs among the elite. The scars of Wimbledon remain, but they no longer define her. In the echo of that double-bagel loss, Anisimova has found a new rhythm—one that could carry her to a breakthrough moment at the US Open.
