She got off to a slow start, which wasn’t unusual considering how energetically she plays and how long it takes to settle into a smooth groove. Coco Gauff took an early 3-0 lead but dropped four straight matches to fall behind Anisimova, 4-3. It was 4-4 after a pair of poor misses, and Anisimova gained an early 4-1 lead in the tiebreak.

“A huge privilege to play on this court”- Amanda Anisimova

Anisimova then dropped six straight points, dropping the tiebreak 7-4, while missing a few relatively simple strokes. With 26 unforced errors in the first set, which was simply too many, she still lost a relatively close match. Gauff was in jeopardy if Amanda Anisimova managed to better control her shots, which she did.

She comfortably defeated her opponent 6-2 in the third set to force a decider, and she outplayed Gauff a little bit more in the final set. Overall, she made only 15 more unforced errors in winning those two sets 6-2 and 6-1. She gave a fantastic performance, demonstrating that, under the right circumstances, she is capable of winning the competition. She celebrated the victory in a way that made it clear how much it meant to her.

“It’s my first time playing on Centre Court,” she said in her on-court interview. “It’s the most special day I think of my career. It’s just a huge privilege to play on this court. I was so excited and playing Coco, she’s an amazing player and just got to the finals of a Grand Slam.”

“Before the match, I was just trying to prepare myself to really soak in this moment, whether I win or lose. But winning today is just so special and I’m very grateful for this experience, especially in front of a full crowd,” she added.
