Amanda Anisimova’s mother, Olga Anisimova, has made a rare appearance in New York to support her daughter’s US Open campaign, which begins on August 18, 2025, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This backing comes months after Olga traveled from the United States to London to be with Amanda during the emotionally charged Wimbledon final.
Anisimova’s Journey Through Recent Tournaments
Before preparing for the US Open, Amanda Anisimova took part in the Cincinnati Open and the Canadian Open. Earlier in the summer, she reached the finals of the Wimbledon Championships but was decisively defeated by Iga Swiatek, who delivered a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory on Centre Court. Despite the difficult loss, Anisimova’s focus remains strong as she gears up for the hard court season.

She continued to highlight her mother’s selflessness and praised her decision to travel despite old superstitions about flying. Amanda added:

Reflecting on sharing the moment with her mother, she also said:
“I am so happy that I get to share this moment and for you to be here and witness this in person. You do so much for my sister and I and you always have. I love you so much.” —Amanda Anisimova
