Anisimova’s Comeback: From Burnout to Wimbledon Finalist
Amanda Anisimova’s journey to the Wimbledon final is nothing short of cinematic. Once hailed as a teen prodigy, she vanished from the spotlight after the sudden death of her father and coach at age 17. In 2023, she took an eight-month break due to mental health struggles, falling outside the top 400.
Fast forward to July 10, 2025-Anisimova stunned world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping semifinal, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 under scorching conditions on Centre Court. Her fearless shot-making and emotional resilience captivated fans worldwide.
She is now the first American woman to reach a Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2019, and only the second in Open Era history to do so after failing to qualify the previous year. Her opponent? Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Świątek, who bulldozed Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 in her own semifinal.
Anisimova’s rise is powered by her partnership with physiotherapist Shadi Soleymani, who helped her overcome chronic injuries and burnout. Her story is a beacon of hope for athletes battling mental health challenges and a reminder that resilience can rewrite destiny.
Świątek vs. Anisimova: A Final for the Ages
The women’s final promises to be a clash of styles and stories. Świątek, the only active player to reach Grand Slam finals on all three surfaces, enters with a perfect 5-0 record in major finals. Her controlled aggression and strategic depth make her the favorite—but Anisimova’s raw power and emotional momentum could disrupt the narrative.
Świątek’s dominance on grass this fortnight has surprised even her. She’s served with precision, returned with patience, and moved with purpose. Her demolition of Bencic was a masterclass in tactical tennis.
Anisimova, meanwhile, has shown she can handle pressure. After missing three match points against Sabalenka, she came up clutch with a fearless forehand winner on the fourth. Her ability to stay composed and aggressive under fire could be the X-factor.
This final isn’t just about a trophy, it’s about legacy, redemption, and the future of women’s tennis. Whether Świątek extends her reign or Anisimova completes her comeback, Wimbledon 2025 will be remembered for its emotional depth and competitive brilliance.
