Amanda Anisimova had dreamt of winning the Wimbledon title on Saturday, but the occasion quickly became a nightmare for her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old American was outmatched from the very first game on Centre Court, as Iga Swiatek<\/a> established her dominance in the final.<\/p>\n

Losing the first set 0-6, it seemed as though things could only get better for Anisimova<\/a> in the second set as she made her maiden Grand Slam final appearance.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t to be, however, as Anisimova fell to a humbling 0-6, 0-6 defeat<\/a> in the 2025 Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the 13th seed\u2019s loss, former world number one Andy Roddick<\/a> shared what he would be telling Anisimova if he were her coach.<\/p>\n

Andy Roddick would have told Amanda Anisimova that losing 0-6 is the same as losing 6-7<\/p>\n

During the latest edition of \u2018Quick Served\u2019, Roddick gave his verdict on Anisimova\u2019s 0-6, 0-6 defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0do want to celebrate the story of [Amanda] Anisimova. I know this is going to leave a mark. I\u2019ve got to think that it is going to be a little bit of hangover,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven one game is different from no games, and people are going to be obsessed with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Roddick proceeded to say what he would be telling Anisimova if he were her coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I was sitting here at 6-0 and I was like if I\u2019m her coach I am yelling that it is the same scoreline, it\u2019s the same as if you lost 7-6,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does not feel good because you got blown out and you have to find it in a hurry, but I would have been trying to negotiate something like 7-6 is almost worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou weren\u2019t close, let\u2019s just reset quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheduled to return to action at the Washington Open in nine days\u2019 time, Anisimova will have to reset quickly, as she looks to bounce back from a tough defeat.<\/p>\n

Jon Wertheim has a theory on why Amanda Anisimova lost to Iga Swiatek so badly<\/p>\n

Roddick\u2019s co-host Jon Wertheim<\/a> was keen to weigh in with his thoughts, as he suggested two reasons behind Anisimova\u2019s Wimbledon final defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how much of this is just the moment. 48 hours ago, she beat the number one player in the world and stared her down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a mental toughness win, and she comes back. I don\u2019t know how much of this was the occasion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder if it was relevant that they had never played each other before and there was no basis of knowledge you could tap into.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anisimova and Swiatek met for the first time in the Wimbledon final, whereas for the American\u2019s semifinal win, she had already played Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> on several occasions.<\/p>\n

In fact, Anisimova held a solid lead in the head-to-head with Sabalenka, winning five of their first eight matches.<\/p>\n\nMatch<\/strong><\/td>\nWinner<\/strong><\/td>\nLoser<\/strong><\/td>\nScore<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025 French Open \u2013 4R<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\n7-5, 6-3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 Canadian Open \u2013 QF<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\n6-4, 6-2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 Australian Open \u2013 4R<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\n6-3, 6-2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2022 Italian Open \u2013 QF<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\n4-6, 6-3, 6-2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2022 Madrid Open \u2013 1R<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\n6-2, 3-6, 6-4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2022 Charleston Open \u2013 3R<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\n3-6, 6-4, 6-3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2019 French Open \u2013 2R<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\n6-4, 6-2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2019 Australian Open \u2013 3R<\/td>\nAmanda Anisimova<\/td>\nAryna Sabalenka<\/td>\n6-3, 6-2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Amanda Anisimova and Aryna Sabalenka\u2019s head-to-head record<\/p>\n

Perhaps Anisimova will have a better chance against Swiatek when they meet next, having learned from their first encounter.<\/p>\n

However, that likely won\u2019t provide too much comfort for the American now, who became the first player in 114 years to lose a Wimbledon final 0-6, 0-6 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Still, Anisimova has plenty to look forward to, as she is set to make her top ten debut when the next set of rankings are released.<\/p>\n

The soon-to-be world number seven may not have lifted the title this time around, but it surely won\u2019t be the last we will see of her on Centre Court.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Anisimova had dreamt of winning the Wimbledon title on Saturday, but the occasion quickly became a nightmare…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":61388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[32349,1710,62,1464,67,132,68,2071,2212],"class_list":{"0":"post-61387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-amanda-anisimova","9":"tag-andy-roddick","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-wimbledon","16":"tag-wta"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114844135979657409","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
