Amanda Anisimova Reflects On Her US Open Comeback

24-years-old Amanda Anisimova will finally have the last laugh this year as far as the Grand Slams are concerned. In her own words, Anisimova feels that her US Open victory is special, considering the fact how her Wimbledon campaign ended two months ago. "To come back like that from Wimbledon is special to me. I worked so hard to turn around from that, and today I proved that I can do it," said Anisimova after her victory against Swiatek.

Anisimova had dropped her serve in the opening game of the match. Tennis fans had expected this match to be a repeat of Wimbledon, but the American youngster was adamant to turn the tables as she left the Polish tennis star stunned.
