"I didn't think this was possible" - Anisimova on reaching Grand Slam quarterfinal after 3 years
First time since 2019, Amanda Anisimova will play in the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam tournament as she enjoys a great run at the 2022 Wimbledon.
It's been a great run for Amanda Anisimova so far at the 2022 Wimbledon. In the qauarterfinals, she will play against Simona Halep who she lost to during pre-Wimbledon preparation at the Bad Homburg Open. After her fourth round victory, the American didn't hide her emotions.
"Going into this I didn't think this was possible. It's a dream come true right now. I think when I was 17, I didn't really appreciate getting to the semifinals as much as I probably should. It only soaked in I think like a year later, understanding what that was, how much it actually meant to me."
"Yeah, just having over a year of not very good results, it really affects you. It motivates me a lot to train harder and just work harder. But when you have losses every week in early rounds, it's very hard to find that motivation. I just kept going. It just took longer than I thought it would. That's why it means so much to me now for having a great year this year."
"I just played her last week. She's really tough to play on grass, for sure. Last week she was playing very well. It was a tough match for me. I kind of felt my wrist a bit in that match so I wasn't really playing to the full of my abilities. I know this will be a really tough match coming up, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure we'll both put up a really good fight."
