The American's crushing defeat to Iga Świątek was rendered more painful by the way tennis works, but it also allows her to rebound.

It was billed as the Wimbledon women’s final that no one expected, it finished as a match that American rising star Amanda Anisimova will want to forget.

Amanda Anisimova thanked her mother for flying to London to watch her play in the Wimbledon final and for all of her help through the years.
