Amanda Anisimova is the standout player today at the WTA Finals 2025 in Riyadh. The American secured a spot in the semifinals after coming back in a thrilling match against Iga Swiatek, and she revealed courtside that the key to turning the match around was... a great piece of advice from her mother. ""My mom always reminds me that I've won many third set matches this year. That I am very strong and I can do it. I just thought about that, knowing the match was extremely tough." Nothing like a mother's love to find strength in weakness.
