WATCH: Iga Swiatek Loses Her Cool During Post Match Press Conference, Snaps On Mental Health Break Suggestion

Amanda Anisimova had the last laugh as she defeated Iga Swiatek in the US Open quarterfinal and knocked her out of the tournament. Earlier this year, the Polish tennis star had defeated Amanda Anisimova by 6-0, 6-0 in Wimbledon. Anisimova now has her revenge and she outsmarted Iga Swiatek by 6-4, 6-3. Swiatek was considered as one of the favourites, not only to defeat Anisimova, but to win the US Open, but fate had other plans.

"Everybody knows how Amanda can play. Yeah, she didn’t play well in Wimbledon but it’s not like she’s always going to do the same mistakes or feel the same," said Swiatek after the match ended. Anisimova, on the other hand, expressed how happy she was and said that currently she is having a run of her life in the ongoing 2025 edition of the US Open.

Anisimova did not start the quarterfinal as favourite, but courtesy of her pitch-perfect gameplay, she left Swiatek stunned and begging for answers.
