AMERICAN Amanda Anisimova returns a shot to Iga Swiatek in her quarterfinal victory at the U.S. Open
The eighth-seeded Anisimova, a 24-year-old who was born in New Jersey and grew up in Florida, reached her third major semifinal and first at Flushing Meadows.
‘The powerful strokes and poise Anisimova displayed in Arthur Ashe Stadium against No. 2 Swiatek — the 2022 U.S. Open champion — were such a striking contrast to what happened at the All England Club’s Centre Court on July 12.
That title match lasted just 57 minutes, and Anisimova managed to win just 24 points that day, a total she eclipsed about midway through the first set this time. Anisimova cried during her runner-up speech during the trophy ceremony at Wimbledon.
