Amanda Anisimova is an American professional tennis player known for her powerful baseline game and early success on the WTA Tour. Born on August 31, 2001, in Freehold Township, New Jersey, she is the daughter of Konstantin and Olga Anisimova, who emigrated from Russia to the United States in pursuit of better opportunities for their family.
Her family eventually settled in Miami, Florida, when Amanda was just three years old. Initially, the focus was on developing the tennis potential of Amanda's older sister, Maria. However, Amanda quickly showed a natural talent for the sport and began serious training at a young age.
Anisimova was coached by her father along with Nick Saviano, a respected tennis coach who has also worked with top American players, including Sloane Stephens. From the start, Amanda drew inspiration from Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova, whom she admired greatly and cited as her tennis idol.
Anisimova turned professional and rapidly rose through the junior and early professional ranks, making headlines with her mature playing style and composure on the court. She won her first WTA singles title at the Copa Colsanitas in Bogotá, Colombia, in April 2019 at just 17 years old. The victory earned her $250,000 in prize money and made her the youngest American to win a WTA title since Serena Williams in 1999.
As of 2019, Anisimova held a singles match record of 65–32 and had amassed career earnings of approximately $694,813. One of her most notable accomplishments came at the 2019 French Open, where she reached the semifinals—her best Grand Slam showing to date. She was defeated by eventual champion Ashleigh Barty but impressed fans and analysts with her performance throughout the tournament.
She also reached the finals of the 2018 Japan Women's Open in Hiroshima, further establishing her as one of the most promising young American players.
Despite her focus on a demanding tennis career, Anisimova has expressed interest in academics and science, stating in past interviews that she has a backup plan to attend school if she ever steps away from tennis. She has considered becoming a surgeon or pharmacist and plans to pursue online education to balance her studies with her athletic commitments.
Her passion for science has even led to unique experiences, such as meeting the cast of "Grey's Anatomy" in August 2016. In her spare time, she enjoys reading science-related books and watching educational content on YouTube.
Anisimova remains focused on advancing her tennis career and avoiding unnecessary distractions. She has stated that she prefers not to date actively while she is competing at such a high level, choosing instead to dedicate her time and energy to training and tournament play.
