Anisimova and a costly fall in Doha: will drop out of the top 5 of the ranking and distances herself from the best
Amanda Anisimova suffered a tough fall in her debut at WTA Doha 2026. It's not been the dream start to the year for the American, who has already faced physical issues in several tournaments and even appeared visibly frustrated during her loss at the Australian Open, with tears in her eyes in the match against Keys. To make matters worse, her defeat in Qatari lands will lead to a departure from the elite: she loses 990 points and drops two positions in the WTA ranking, falling out of the top-5 and sliding down to the #6 spot. Will the one who seemed destined to be one of the big names of 2026 recover soon?
