Teenager Amanda Anisimova hopes the confidence she gained during her run at the French Open will help her to succeed during the grasscourt season
PARIS - Teenager Amanda Anisimova hopes the confidence she gained during her amazing run at the French Open will help her to succeed during the grasscourt season.
A day after bamboozling defending champion Simona Halep, the 17-year-old missed out on a place in the final after falling to a 6-7 6-3 6-3 defeat to Australian Ashleigh Barty in a see-saw contest on Friday. “I started off pretty rough. I was kind of frozen and I couldn’t really get into my game,” she told reporters.
The fightback was not enough to carry her over the finishing line as Barty used her wealth of experience to tame an opponent who will break into the top 30 of the WTA rankings on Monday.“It’s a positive week for me. I’m just going to try and be happy about the couple weeks, and hopefully today I’ll be a little bit happier than I am right now,” she said.
