The 20-year-old American had dazzled the world by reaching the semi-finals of Roland-Garros at 17.
Amanda Anisimova caused a sensation in 2019 by reaching the semi-finals of Roland-Garros at the age of 17. She had notably beaten Sabalenka and Halep before falling in 3 sets against Barty. That year, the teenager had climbed to 21st place by inviting herself to the passage in the media. Many saw in her the long-awaited boss. The Drake and Grey’s Anatomy fan, who has always drawn inspiration from Maria Sharapova’s game, needed more than two years to digest this new status.
