Pre-match Insight
Earlier this week, Anisimova opened up about re-watching her painful Wimbledon loss to Swiatek:
“I watched them [highlights] back, as painful as it was, just to see what I can avoid or what went wrong,” she said.
“Then I had to watch some good highlights to get that out of my brain!”
The American has already avenged that defeat, knocking out Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 earlier this week in New York.
