Amanda Anisimova Age: 24 (31 August 2001) Birth place: Freehold Township, New Jersey, USA Career high: World No. 3 Single titles: 4 Miami Open Best: 4th Round in 2025 Prize Money: US$ 12,892,510 www.instagram.com/amandaanisimova Amanda Anisimova was born in Freehold Township, New Jersey, to Russian parents who later moved the family to Florida to support her tennis development. She started playing tennis as a child alongside her older sister, Maria, and was coached primarily by her father, Konstantin Anisimov, who helped guide her early progress. Her talent was clear at the junior level, where she won the girls’ singles title at the US Open in 2017. She turned professional in 2016 and quickly adapted to the physical and mental demands of the tour. Away from competition, Anisimova has also focused on her education and personal growth. She once shared that balancing tennis and academics became especially meaningful during her time away from the tour. “I attended college in person during my break from tennis,” Amanda said. “I have a Business major that I’ve been studying since 2020, and I’m also doing a minor in Psychology.” Off the court, she values simple ways to reset. “Going to the beach and spending time with people I love is the best way to recharge. Sometimes something fun like jet skiing too.” Her recovery habits during tournaments are also practical and disciplined. She explained that sleep is a priority, adding, “I take a magnesium supplement before bed, and sometimes a hot bath helps. I also try not to scroll too much on my phone.”
