Her last major tournament was in the Netherlands, where she pushed Aryna Sabalenka to limits, only to lose in three sets in the end. In the French Open, her campaign was cut short by Coco Gauff, who beat her in three sets during the second round.

Alison is five feet eight inches. Alison is known for her strong forehand and can also more than hold her own on the baseline. She has constantly worked on footwork which has served her well during long rallies. She uses both her hands when using the backhand and opts for slice than the topspin style.

She reached also the Fourth Round of Madrid Open, after she defeated Danielle Collins but was beaten by Aryna Sabalenka in the fourth. During her amazing run, she has beaten Aryna Sabalenka during Charleston Open. Really, Amanda has eben on fire mostly.

Amanda is an incredible baseline player and can act as a winger from both sides. Her strongest attack is her backhand which possess a ton of speed, allowing her to deal with balls on multiple heights. She has used her Backhand a lot to construct multiple gamewinners. Her return serve has been strong too and overall, Anisimova is one of the best players in the women’s circuit.
