Switch was thrown off from US Open. Polka was given for public humiliation of the opponent
The American repayed the debt.
One of the best tennis players of the present yoke of the shelter with a rink was held by rivals on US Open and dreamed of the title. The American Amanda Anisimova was supposed to be easy prey for Polka, because a couple of months ago the yoke humiliated her in the final of Wimbledon – 6: 0, 6: 0.
However, this time everything did not go according to the plan of the Polish tennis player, who served the punishment for violation of anti -doping rules. For swords, this defeat has become one of the most painful in the season, but with disgrace will have to come to terms. The WTA tours still be able to repulse fraudsters.
The path of shitsuits up to the quarterfinals
Swucks have traditionally approached the US Open in the status of a favorite. The triumph on Wimbledon and the victory on the “thousand -up” in Cincinnati allowed her fans with optimism to look at the near future. The first matches left no doubt that Iga was set up to compete for the title. At first, she defeated the Colombian Emilian Arango (6: 1, 6: 2), and then encountered difficulties in the match with Suzan Lamens from the Netherlands. After the confident first set (6: 1), she gave the second (4: 6), but gathered and in the decisive party brought the case to victory – 6: 4. In the third round, her rival was Russian Anna Kalinskaya. The yoke won in two parties – 7: 6 (7: 2), 6: 4, although here the struggle was tense. Kalinskaya actively went on the attack, but at key moments the experience and composure of the sluts affected.
But in the 1/8 finals of the shcretki showed tennis, which is expected from her: the match against Ekaterina Alexandrova turned into a formal destruction of her rival. Polka completely controlled the game, destroyed the Russian woman’s presentation and completed the meeting with a confident victory – 6: 3, 6: 1. At that time, it seemed that Iga entered the peak of form and was ready for decisive meetings.
Anisimova broke the move
Prior to this, the quarterfinals of Shventyk and Anisimov crossed only once-in the final of Wimbledon-2025. Then Polka literally dared an opponent from the court, winning 6: 0, 6: 0 in 58 minutes. That meeting gave rise to the opinion that Anisimova was mentally not ready to fight Iga. However, in New York, everything has changed.
The beginning of the match went according to a familiar scenario: the ships made a break and led 1: 0. But the reaction of the American turned out to be instant – the reverse break, and this immediately set the tone of the whole batch. Amanda stopped playing carefully and began to impose her style.
Anisimova confidently took the geims on her presentation, leaving ISE, the chances of the reception. Her strokes from the foregend were especially impressive: several times she fell directly into the corner of the court without a chance for an opponent. Shevynets kept due to stability, but sometimes turned out to be in the role of catching up.
The key moment occurred with a score of 5: 4 in favor of Anisimova. The American turned on the maximum aggression, forced the yoke to make a mistake on the back line and earned setball. Polka lost the reception, and the party ended in favor of Anisimova – 6: 4.
Answer for Wimbledon
At the beginning of the second batch of Schwhentki, she tried to change the course of the match. She acted more actively, more often went forward and even led 2-0, making an early break. This segment looked like a chance at a fracture – the fans already expected the third set.
But Anisimova again showed character. In the fourth game, she imposed a protracted struggle, and when the ball from the grid changed the trajectory, she could not cope – 2: 2. From this moment, the American played more relaxed, and the moles, on the contrary, began to be nervous and more often mistaken on the first presentation.
With a score 3: 3, it was Anisimova who looked more confident. She was almost not mistaken, added relics in the draws and in the eighth game she designed a decisive break – 5: 3. Shewentks tried to catch on, but immediately allowed a few inaccuracies, and Anisimova did not flinch.
The party final came quickly: the American completed the match with a powerful presentation – 6: 3. Thus, Anisimova took a revenge for defeat at Wimbledon and first in her career went to the semifinal of US Open.
Schwalks called the reason for the failure
After the meeting, the sluts admitted that her main problem was the presentation.
– I understood that with such a game and such a presentation I could not win. Amanda accepted very aggressively, and this was the key to her success. On the back line, I felt good, but the feed failed. This played a decisive role, – quotes the words of the ships Punto de Break.
When asked about whether their match on Wimbledon influenced the perception of the opponent, the yoke replied:
“I think everyone knows what Amanda is capable of.” Yes, she did not succeed in Wimbledon, but this does not mean that she will constantly make the same mistakes or experience the same feelings. I know that she is a good player and can show excellent tennis. Therefore, I was preparing for a difficult match. She won, so, I think this really did not play a role, ”said the sludge at a press conference.
Polka also commented on the topic of fatigue and mental burnout.
– Many people ask about a break, but, frankly, I do not think that now it is needed. The matches here were not too debilitating, – quotes the words of the punto de Break shit.
For the sluts, the defeat in the quarterfinals was a serious blow, because the day before she showed an excellent form and was considered one of the main applicants for the title. Nevertheless, Polka does not intend to focus on failure: plans to prepare for the Asian series of tournaments, where she will try to return confidence. But for Anisimova, this is a historical success. In the semifinals, US Open-2025 will play with Japanese Naomi Osaka, and New York is already preparing for a bright confrontation.
