Amanda Anisimova hoping to relive Wimbledon Magic
Amanda Anisimova is back at Wimbledon with a win and plenty of good memories.
Last year’s finalist opened her campaign with a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 victory over Tereza Gjorgcheska, marking a positive return after an injury-hit start to the season.
The American admitted it felt special to step onto the Wimbledon grass again after everything she has dealt with over the past few months.
Asked how it felt to be back, Anisimova smiled before saying:
“Yeah, I’m trying. I’m trying. It feels amazing.”
She explained that returning to the All England Club immediately brought back memories of her run to last year’s final.
“The second I got here I was flooded with great memories. I’m just trying to carry those vibes I had last year to keep me going here.”
After struggling with injuries and limited playing time this season, the victory was an encouraging way to begin her Wimbledon campaign.
Anisimova said she wants to enjoy every moment at this year’s tournament.
“Looking forward to playing. Gonna try and enjoy each day out here. I’m looking forward to the next one.”
The win sends the American into the second round, where she will hope last year’s Wimbledon memories can inspire another good run.
