Amanda Anisimova has suffered a serious setback in the form of an injury that has ended her 2026 season, as she announced herself on her social media. The American tennis player confirmed that she is suffering from a serious wrist injury, so she has decided to be cautious and will not compete again until 2027.

"Hello everyone: I am ending my season this year. I have suffered another wrist injury that I need to treat. It is time for me to recover, reset, and see you all again in 2027," Anisimova stated, noting that this is not the first time she has suffered such an injury. Just a few days ago, her withdrawal from the WTA Beijing was announced, and now it is official that she will not even be available for the WTA Finals or the rest of the Asian tour. It’s time to recharge and come back stronger for next year.

Anisimova is slipping away from the top 10 at a dizzying pace

Amanda's year has been anything but easy, which is a far cry from 2025 when she reached the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open. The American tennis player was once ranked number 3 in the world, but this year she has plummeted to the 16th position, a situation that will worsen once she loses the points she is defending from the remaining tournaments of the season.

Her goal for 2027 will be to rediscover her best tennis and heal physically and mentally, as she has appeared somewhat overwhelmed on several occasions throughout the season. The continual gestures to her bench and complaints during matches have become a recurring theme every time Anisimova steps on the court, so this short break will do her good to reset.
