""I watched them [highlights] back, as painful as it was, just to see what I can avoid or what went wrong," she said. "Then after I had to watch some good highlights to remove that from my brain!""
""Truly the most that I felt bad was for the people that had come to watch that day," she added. "I know how much people pay for those tickets and are excited to see Wimbledon. I kind of had that guilt on my back, as opposed to winning my first grand slam final. "On the court I was crying and maybe [for] 30 minutes afterwards, but then I got on the phone with someone and I kind of laughed it off. "At the end of the day to me it was just tennis. I'm in a really good place in my life. I'm happy every single day, which I wasn't a couple of years ago.""
Amanda Anisimova watched the Wimbledon highlights of her 6-0, 6-0 loss to Iga Swiatek the night before their US Open match to identify mistakes and prepare mentally. She then defeated Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 to reach the US Open semi-finals, calling it the most meaningful victory of her life. Anisimova acknowledged feeling guilty for fans after the Wimbledon defeat, cried briefly, then moved on. She took a two-year break earlier due to burnout and says she is now happy and in a better place. She will face Naomi Osaka next in the semi-finals.
