<\/p>\nAmanda Anisimova\u2019s grass-court season hasn\u2019t gotten off to the best start. <\/p>\n
Coming off a runner-up finish at Wimbledon last year, the American managed just one win at this season\u2019s Queen\u2019s Club Championships, beating Laura Siegemund before falling in the quarterfinals to 18-year-old Iva Jovic in three sets.<\/p>\n

She was then set to play at the Berlin Open but ended up withdrawing from the tournament. Now we know why she pulled out of the WTA 500 event.<\/p>\n

Amanda Anisimova withdraws from the Berlin Open after a back injury<\/p>\n
According to Tennisform on X, previously Twitter, Anisimova pulled out of the Berlin Open because of back spasms.<\/p>\n
She was set to defend just 108 points at the event, after reaching the quarterfinals there last year.<\/p>\n
In 2025, she got past Bianca Andreescu and Magdalena Frech before losing to Liudmila Samsonova in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The Berlin Open and Nottingham Open were the final two grass-court events ahead of Wimbledon. That means Anisimova\u2019s next appearance will come at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

With the withdrawal behind her, Anisimova will now look ahead to Wimbledon, where she will aim to go one step further this season after finishing runner-up in 2025.<\/p>\n
She recorded her best-ever result at the tournament by making the final, and along the way, she beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n

But in the final, Anisimova was stopped by Iga Swiatek, who made history as the first Polish player to win a singles title at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Swiatek won that match 6-0, 6-0. It was only the second time in a major final during the Open Era that such a scoreline had occurred. The only other instance was Steffi Graf\u2019s 6-0, 6-0 victory over Natasha Zvereva at Roland Garros in 1988.<\/p>\n
