Amanda Anisimova Facts

1. Amanda’s parents were both born and raised in Moscow. They moved to the United States just before her birth to provide better coaching and training to Amanda’s older sister who was an aspiring tennis player. Amanda was born in New Jersey and the family moved to Florida a few years later.
2. She was a child prodigy and her peak ranking as a junior was number 2 (2016) in the world. At the age of 14, she had participated in the 2015 Abierto Juvenil Mexicano as a rank outsider (she was not even a part of the top 300 in the rankings). However, her stocks rose dramatically after she unexpectedly won the tournament.
3. She had beaten a ‘Top 150’ opponent on the pro tour before turning 15. By the time she turned 16, she had already won her first ITF (International Tennis Federation) pro circuit title.
4. Amanda also triumphed at the 2017 Junior US Open and was the first American player to reach the French Open Girls’ (2016) singles tournament final in 14 years. She was a part of the United States national team that won the 2017 Junior Fed Cup.
5. She made her Grand Slam debut at the 2017 French Open and was the youngest player, since Alizé Cornet in 2005, to participate in the tournament’s main draw.
6. At the 2018 Indian Wells Open, she became the youngest player to reach the 4th round of the tournament since Nicole Vaidišová in 2005.
7. In August 2019, she had to withdraw from the US Open after the sudden demise of her father. Despite a string of losses in the second half of the year, she had reached No. 21 in the world rankings which made her eligible for the season-ending WTA Elite Trophy but she opted out of the tournament, deciding to finish her year early.
