Amanda Anisimova is set to play her first Grand Slam final in front of her home crowd. The final is more important for her as she aims to erase her disappointing final at Wimbledon in July this year. Anisimova had a forgettable Championships final as she lost to Iga Swiatek without a single game being won, as Swiatek dominated the match 6-0, 6-0.
Now, at the US Open, Anisimova is determined to redeem herself, as she aims for her maiden Grand Slam title of her career. The 24-year-old has been in good form, losing two sets in her last six matches, showcasing resilience and consistency, including a hard-fought semifinal win against Naomi Osaka.
If Anisimova wins the US Open title, she will become the first American player since Serena Williams in 2024 to win a Grand Slam singles title on home soil, ending a year-long wait for an American champion at Flushing Meadows.
