New York – After losing the Wimbledon final in July, and with tears streaming on his face, Amanda anisimova As he spoke to the crowd.
She lost just 6-0, 6-0 Ega swetec In 57 minutes, at a rapid pace, and fans of the Center Court looked enamored with her words because she continued to speak, and with her confidents that would not reduce despite the omnipotent results.
“I know that I have not enough today, but I am going to work,” said Aneesimova. “And I always believe in myself, so I hope to come back here one day.”
The 24-year-old American is not back in a major final-as of anyway, not anyway-but on Wednesday, she got a chance to avenge the loss in the quarter-finals at the US Open. Like the All England Club, he entered the match as a clear party, but this time, with the vocal support of the crowd in Arthur Ash Stadium, Anisimova Found a way to bother for victory of 6-4, 6-3 To proceed to its first semi -finals in New York.
When it was finished, Anisimova initially appeared almost expressively free of expression, exactly 53 days after his disappointment in Wimbledon. Or perhaps she was in shock after winning at the point of her third match. But when she hugged a shocking swiyatech, she saw a big smile on her face and she nodded her hands on her head and nodded, before she was giving her team a handful of her heart in her heart.
Anisimova later said at the court moments, “Playing here is very low and I am scoring my life here.” “I mean, the first day I came here,” Okay, let’s try and get through a round. ” But yes, this has been such a dream, and to come back from Wimbledon as is really special to me.
“I feel like I worked so hard to try and turn to it, and I mean, everything has been proved for me today. I can do it, so yes. It’s really special.”
There will be an understanding to call the resurrection of the season of Anisimova. An exciting junior prospect and 2017 US Open Girls Champion, Anisimova, split with a surprising semi -final appearance as a 17 -year -old with a surprising semi -final appearance at the 2019 French Open on the professional scene. Publicity and endorsement immediately followed.
But his career derailed from several individual and professional failures, including his father’s unexpected death and several injuries. After a hard start for her 2023 season, Anisimova announced that she would take an indefinite mental health break as tennis had become “unbearable” for her.
He spent eight months away from the tour, taking time out to pursue other interests, in his words, “reset.” She returned in early 2024, and reached the fourth round at the Australian Open, but her withdrawal had massive mixed results in the year.
But 2025 has been completely different. Anisimova won the biggest title of his career at 1000-level Qatar Open in February. She r Aryana Sabalanka In the semi -finals. Later he first entered the top 10. After his win over Swiytech on Wednesday, he is expected to rise to a new high level of number 5.
After taking about 30 minutes to cry and mop after defeat at All England Club, Anisimova said a phone call with a friend helped him find humor almost immediately after. He took some brief time to spend time with his young nephews after Wimbledon and surf on the beach in Montac, New York, but returned to the end of the month to play Canadian Open.
In his two tournaments at the US Open, he won just two, and never advanced before the third round in the tournament. But she still reached the last major briming of the year with speed and positivity – and whatever she learned from Wimbledon reached the final.
“I think that just feel that experience and experience that finally I get some ideas and some things that I can go to this tournament with me, especially to deal with stress and stress, eg, a home slam, and I have little pressure,” Aneesimova said before the tournament. “I think the way the final went away, he gave me a better perspective how I should handle my nerves.”
With its height profile and seeding, Anisimova has played every match on a show court so far and despite any additional attention, he has shown incredible composition and mental strength. He has left just one set – against unseen Jacqueline christian In the third round – but otherwise every match is under control. He registered a bagel set against number 18 seed Beatries Hadadad Maiya On Monday in the era of 16. Through his first five matches, he has 28 aces, the second highest in the tournament, and has won 82% of his service games.
On Tuesday night, mentally preparing for the quarter -final match from his hotel room, he forced himself to resume the Wimbledon final, whatever he could take from him. It was difficult, but necessary. She saw that she was “slow as hell” and tired, but already felt that she was in a better position at this time, just because of that previous experience.
On Wednesday, playing in front of a crowd, who often shouted the words of support like “Come” Manda, you got this babe! ” And “We Love You, Amanda,” Anisimova broke into the early game of the match, as she was in Wimbledon, and she could not help but was briefly nervous. “When I was not able to catch in that first game, I really was, like, ‘Okay, Here hereHe said with laughter at his news conference. “It was a bit tense.”
But this time, she immediately broke the sweatek and recovered. And, he said, some “stress from my shoulders, of course.”
After taking the initial set, it appeared early that Swetek had re -discovered its championship form as it handled the first two games of the second set.
But Anisimova did not seem, and he tried to set herself on fire with positive confirmation and kept moving after every point – something she accepted later was not natural for her. She went to win six of the next seven matches, behind her strong serving, blistering returns and unbreakable attitude. There were 23 winners that day and only 12 were unexpected errors.
Swetek said that his inconsistent service day “difference” in the result of the match. But she also said that she was not surprised by the level of Anisimova.
“I think everyone knows how Amanda can play,” one told reporters after the match. “Yes, he didn’t play well [at] Wimbledon, but it is not that she is always going to make the same mistakes or feel the same.
“No, I know she is a good player. She can play great tennis. So I was ready for a tough match for me.”
Anisimova later called it a “most meaningful victory”.
Now in the major semi -finals of his third career, Anisimova will take the winner of Wednesday night between four -time prominent champions. Naomi Osaka And 2023 French Open Finalist Karolina Muchova On Thursday night. Anisimova has won the record on both players – he defeated Osaka twice and defeated Muchova in his previous career meeting – but has not been faced either since 2022. He called the two “incredibly difficult opponents”, but on Wednesday, while talking to the media, either seemed ready for possibility.
On Thursday, 24 hours after the biggest win of his career, he will get a chance to reach his second consecutive slam final. But no matter what happens, she was proud of herself that she had achieved whatever she had achieved in this summer – and proved herself and the world.
“It still seems a little real, of course,” she said to a packed room of reporters, with a backward nike baseball cap on her head. “I mean, I have faith in myself and believe that I am able to play at the top level, and I am actually able to go on the head-to-head with these top three and everyone who is in the top 10. I have shown this, and I think I was able to prove that time and time for a long time again.
“It is really competitive these days, and at the same time the Grand Slams are really difficult, so I am really happy to make it for the first time.”
