Amanda Anisimova prepares for 2026 US Open with renewed focus on mental health

Amanda Anisimova is entering the 2026 US Open with a new perspective on her mental health and tennis career. After stepping away from the sport in May 2023 due to burnout and dropping to No. 373 in the WTA rankings, she made a strong comeback, reaching the finals at both Wimbledon and the US Open in 2025. Anisimova aims to focus on the day-to-day process rather than past losses. She recently participated in mixed doubles but faced a first-round exit alongside partner Learner Tien. Anisimova emphasized the importance of balance in life, stating winning her first Grand Slam title remains a significant goal.
