Amanda Anisimova’s Run to the Final – A Turning Point

Amanda Anisimova may have lost the final to Sabalenka, but her US Open 2025 run was a breakthrough in every sense.

• She took out Naomi Osaka in a thrilling semi, coming back from a break down in the third.

• She defeated three seeded players along the way, including Coco Gauff.

• Her emotional control and belief were the biggest improvements.

Anisimova played with clarity and confidence — even in the final. Her shot selection, especially on return games, was bold yet calculated.

🎾 What stands out:
She didn’t retreat in pressure. She embraced the moment — and that’s something she hasn’t always done in the past.

💬 “I finally trust myself again,” she said post-match. That may be the most dangerous development on tour.
