Amanda Anisimova (24 years old, 9 WTA) lost the second consecutive final of Grand Slam On Saturday night, at the US Open, after Wimbledon. The host's favorite gave up with 3-6, 6-7 (3) in front of Aryna Sabalenka, and after the match she was extremely excited and disappointed, crying like a child on the edge.
Anisimova had managed to go through the one who had “destroyed” her at Wimbledon, but Swiak's success was not enough for her so she could pick up the New York trophy over her head. Sabalenka was the better player, which is recognized with fair play and a loser at the end of the match.
With the towel covering his face and morale to the ground, Anisimova cried minutes in a row at the end of the match, being hardly consoled. However, he found his latest resources to give a short statement, explaining what did not work in this final, how he disturbed the fact that he played in the night, having big words to the opponent.
The reaction of the US Open loser offered in tears
“It was an incredible atmosphere. I tried to enjoy it to the maximum, especially in the second set, when I started to come back. They supported me a lot, and that really helped me stay in the match. I was very motivated and I wanted to give the best in the final. I hope I can continue to work for more opportunities.
I felt that I didn't play my best tennis all the match. I don't know. I feel like I'm very nervous in the final and there is something I try to work for, but I would have liked to have played more aggressively. She was playing amazingly, she was doing everything well, so she made my life very difficult today.
That's the reality and I have to accept it. I feel that if I had fought more, maybe I would have had more opportunities, but today I was a little in the shadow.
I was in a hurry and it was hard for me to keep up. I knew I had to be the more aggressive player if I wanted to win and it would have been very difficult anyway. I was trying to stay in the match and think about how to make things difficult, but the exchanges were not long. It was very difficult and I didn't realize that I was hitting more winning balls than her.
I had not played on the field during the day with the closed roof and I saw literally white, I could not see the ball when I served. From the heating, I thought, “This will be a problem.” I didn't know what to do. There was no way to adapt, because I couldn't see the ball when I was serving, and this was a huge shock to me, because I knew that if I couldn't keep my service, it would be very difficult for me to stay in the match.
He went out and played an excellent tennis from the beginning. Obviously, it is number one and is very capable of playing incredible tennis, as it has done today. I give him all the merit. I admire her so much; He works so hard and that's why he is where he is. I had many difficult matches. I would have liked that today it was more intense, but it is ”, Said after the match Amanda Anisimova, quoted by Puetodebreak.com.
