At Wimbledon 2026, Amanda Anisimova returned with a mix of nostalgia and ambition. A year after reaching her first Grand Slam final, she faced Iga Swiatek in a match that ended 6‑0 6‑0, the first all‑zero scoreline in a ladies’ final since 1911. The loss left her nursing nerves and a bruised confidence before playing the next round in London.

Two weeks later, Anisimova turned the tables at the US Open. In a quarter‑final clash, she dispatched Swiatek and then toppled two‑time champion Naomi Osaka to reach a second consecutive major final. The turnaround highlighted her growing mental resilience and the ability to shrug off past setbacks as she prepares for Wimbledon return this season she remains focused on her.

Anisimova’s year was marred by a left‑wrist injury and a split with coach Rick Vleeshouwers, forcing her to miss two months of clay. The hiatus, coupled with the mental strain of her Wimbledon defeat, prompted a self‑care break in 2023, during which she studied psychology and painted for charity to recharge and redefine her game strategy for future tournaments ahead.

Back at Queen’s, Anisimova lost in the quarter‑finals but remains eager to rewrite her Wimbledon tale. She credits her resilience to a supportive network and the lessons learned from high‑pressure matches. With confidence restored, she aims to take the grass‑court title and cement her place among the sport’s elite in the coming season and to challenge for the title again.
