Amanda Anisimova has etched her name into tennis history by becoming the youngest player in over two decades to reach the finals of both Wimbledon and the US Open in the same season. At 23 years and 358 days, she joins elite company, matching a feat last achieved by Serena and Venus Williams in 2002.
Redemption After Wimbledon
Her journey began with a painful loss at Wimbledon, where she was defeated 6-0, 6-0 by Iga Swiatek in the final. Rather than retreat, Anisimova used the experience as fuel. She returned to the court with renewed focus and stormed through the US Open draw, defeating Swiatek in the quarterfinals and Naomi Osaka in a grueling semifinal match.
A New Chapter in American Tennis
Anisimova’s run marks a resurgence for American women’s tennis. With Madison Keys winning the Australian Open and Coco Gauff capturing the French Open, Anisimova’s presence in the US Open final ensures that an American woman has reached every Grand Slam final this year. This echoes the dominance of the early 2000s, when Serena and Venus were rewriting the sport’s narrative.
Youth and Determination
What sets Anisimova apart is not just her age, but her resilience. After stepping away from tennis in 2023 to focus on her mental health, she returned in 2024 with a renewed sense of purpose. Her performances in 2025 have been marked by poise, power, and a refusal to back down in the face of adversity.
Looking Ahead
As she prepares to face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open final, Anisimova stands on the brink of her first Grand Slam title. Regardless of the outcome, her season has already become one of the most memorable in recent history. Her rise signals a new era—one shaped by grit, growth, and the promise of even greater achievements to come.
