“I watched [highlights] back, as painful as it was, just to see what I can avoid or what went wrong,” she said. “Then after I had to watch some good highlights to remove that from my brain!”
Anisimova said she was able to bounce back from her loss and focus on the US Open.
“I feel like I was able to bounce back from it [Wimbledon defeat] really quickly. Maybe a few years ago I wouldn’t have done as well as I have this time, the 24-year-old said.”
Anisimova, seeded eighth, played with confidence and power, dictating rallies and displaying impressive backhand shots. Despite a brief scare when Swiatek broke early in the second set, Anisimova maintained her composure and capitalized on Swiatek’s second serve.
“Today, I really came out there with not an ounce of fear,” she said.
The victory is particularly meaningful for Anisimova, who has spoken openly about the importance of mental health in sports. She has embraced a positive mindset and will now face Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals.
