“It has become unbearable to be in tennis tournaments. At this point, my priority is my mental well-being and take a break for a while,” she wrote in her article.
As she moved away, she was classified n ° 46 in the world.
Anisimova returned to the classic ASB in January 2024, when she took eight months from the match. On her return, Anisimova played some of her best tennis when she won her first WTA 1000 title at the Qatar Open 2025.

“To be honest, if you had told me that I would be in the final in Wimbledon, I would not believe you. At least not that soon,” said Anisimova after his upset victory over Sabalenka.
“It has been a year since his return and, to be in this place, it’s not easy and so many people dream of competing on this incredible court. It was a privilege to compete here, and being in the final is simply indescribable.”
Anisimova will have the chance to compete once again at the All England Club on Center runs Saturday in the Wimbledon final, where she will play Swiatek.
