Anisimova Survives Wimbledon Thriller! Practice Courts Next?
American Anisimova Advances to Wimbledon Last 16!
Amanda Anisimova battled her way into the last 16 of Wimbledon, defeating Hungary's Dalma Galfi 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 in a hard-fought match. Despite the victory, the 13th seed wasn't entirely satisfied with her performance and plans to hit the practice courts to sharpen her game.
"It was an incredibly tough match but I kept fighting," Anisimova said after her Independence Day victory. "I think the quality wasn't that great today but I will hit the practice courts tomorrow."
Anisimova, who reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2022, displayed glimpses of brilliance, securing a crucial break in the first set with a stunning lob. However, Galfi, ranked 110th, proved a resilient opponent, digging deep to break back in the second set and force a decider.
The third set saw Anisimova regain control, breaking serve early and unleashing a powerful forehand. Despite a late wobble when she double-faulted on break point, she ultimately sealed the win, letting out a triumphant scream as she moved into the next round.
Anisimova will be looking to improve her consistency as she progresses further in the tournament. A strong performance on the practice courts will be crucial as she aims to replicate her quarter-final run from last year.
