Amanda Anisimova kept apologizing to the spectators at Centre Court — for her performance in a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final and for the emotions that made it hard to deliver a speech afterward.

Iga Świątek cruised to her first Wimbledon title, dispatching American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0, just the second time a women's major final has ended in straight sets in the Open Era. Naturally, such a resounding defeat was not easy for Anisimova to process,

Amanda Anisimova was born in New Jersey to Olga Anisimova and Konstantin Anisimov. Her parents both worked in the finance sector and emigrated from Russia to the USA in 1998, a few years before Amanda was born, in order to give her older sister Maria better opportunities in life.
