It can be asserted, without fear of making a mistake, that Amanda Anisimova is the great revolution of the season on the women's circuit. The young American has overcome the mental health issues that hindered her progress and is a major protagonist. She reflected on this in a press conference after reaching the final of the WTA 1000 Beijing 2025.
Her establishment in the elite does not appear to be sporadic, nor by any means. Many thought that Amanda Anisimova would show glimpses of her great potential but would not consolidate herself at the top with the naturalness and decisiveness she is achieving this season. Finalist in two Grand Slams, champion of a major title, and now, finalist in the WTA 1000 Beijing 2025 after defeating Gauff in the semifinals, a clear demonstration of her strength.
- Anisimova admits to being surprised with her great performance in Beijing
"I am very excited to reach the final. I played a great match, all my shots worked. I wish I could play at this level more often. I understand myself better each time, stay true to my style, and enjoy difficult challenges. I did not expect to perform so well here at all, after weeks of inactivity. Also, on the same day I was flying to Beijing, I had to have a wisdom tooth removed," explained the American.
With a clear winning mentality and increasingly competitive skills, Amanda Anisimova unveils an interesting mental aspect of her idiosyncrasy. "When I don't feel in the best physical shape possible, I play more freely because I relieve pressure. I am surprising myself, feeling that I am improving a lot as a tennis player. The achievements I have reached this year are a result of the hard work I have put in and I hope to finish the season in the best possible way. It's not easy because the year is very long, but I have a lot of confidence," explained the finalist of the WTA 1000 Beijing 2025, currently ranked number 4 in the world.
