New York – The game press after a painful defeat is not common for certain champions.
Amanda Anisimova Revenge for her humble double defeat Iga Swiatek In the Wimbledon final, the second-seeded pole swept through the range of 6-4, 6-3, and entered her debut US Open semi-finals today.
Afterwards, a strange Swiatek snapped up all of her from a reporter who asked her if she needed a psychological break after a lot of work.
Last month, Swiatek defeated Jasmine Paolini in the Cincinnati Open final before flying to New York on Monday, where she partnered with Casper Ruud to arrive at the new brand new U.S. Open hybrid doubles final, where they fell into defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, in the final.
Despite this, Swiatek did not reflect deeply on his mental state after his winning streak at the U.S. Open and 11-game winning streak, and New Jersey native Anisimova snapped up his mental state.
