American tennis player Amanda Anisimova cruised into the third round of Roland-Garros on Wednesday with a commanding 6-0, 6-2 victory over Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic. The No. 16 seed dispatched Golubic in just 55 minutes on the Paris clay courts, showcasing powerful groundstrokes and an aggressive playing style that left her opponent struggling to respond. This win highlights Anisimova’s strong form early in the tournament and cements her status as a serious contender.

Anisimova, currently ranked No. 17 in the world but previously reaching a career-high No. 16 in March 2025, used consistent power and excellent returning to dominate the match from start to finish. She benefited from a relatively easy start to the event after her first-round opponent, Serbian qualifier Nina Stojanovic, retired while trailing 6-3, 4-1. In contrast, Golubic entered this match riding the confidence of a gritty three-set win over former major champion Petra Kvitova but was unable to replicate that effort today.

A former French Open semifinalist in 2019, Anisimova now looks ahead to her next challenge against either Denmark’s Clara Tauson, seeded 22nd, or Dutch player Arantxa Rus. With this swift and decisive victory, she signals her intent to make a deep run in Paris once again, building on a season that already includes a WTA 1000 title in Doha. Her smooth progress through the third round promises an exciting chapter for fans and highlights the increasing depth and talent in women’s tennis.
