Amanda Anisimova suffered another Grand Slam near miss at the US Open, losing her final to Aryna Sabalenka in New York.<\/p>\n

Anisimova has been backed to win a Grand Slam<\/a>, having now lost two finals, both of which took place this season.<\/p>\n

Before her 6-3, 7-6(7-3) defeat to world number one Sabalenka<\/a>, Anisimova<\/a> lost 6-0, 6-0 to Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Anisimova wants to \u201csee the positives soon\u201d<\/a> after back-to-back Grand Slam final defeats, but such an attitude wasn\u2019t exactly on display in her US Open<\/a> runner-up speech.<\/p>\n

Among her comments on court, the American said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a great summer. Losing in two finals in a row is great but then it\u2019s also super hard. I think I didn\u2019t fight hard enough for my dreams today.\u201d<\/p>\n

And former professional Rennae Stubbs<\/a> has since taken exception to the final comment, saying on The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast: \u201cI didn\u2019t like that she said she felt like she didn\u2019t fight enough. I disagree with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she handled it the best way that she could. She is only going to learn from the Wimbledon final and the US Open final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look back on that match in the final, the first game was massive. Anisimova had a bunch of break points. I think she even had 0-30 in that game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she breaks and goes up 1-0 I think we have a completely different Amanda. I think we have a completely different possible outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda has a winning record over Sabalenka and beat her previously at Wimbledon. So I know it\u2019s different in a semi to a final, but I think her breaking serve there is so big. Instead she loses the game and then loses her own service game and then it\u2019s 0-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t tell me that the Wimbledon final wasn\u2019t entering your mind there at 0-2 down in front of 20,000 people who you know have paid maybe $10,000 for a ticket to be there for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I hope Amanda walks away from this and goes \u2018lessons learned\u2019. I don\u2019t think she froze at the US Open, but she did at Wimbledon. She could not even pick up her feet, as she was that nervous.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the US Open she had moments and I think if she wins the second set we also might have a different outcome. The crowd were going nuts and she started to see it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe she would have got the same feeling as she did against Naomi, so maybe if it goes three it was a different story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anisimova does indeed need to look back on her efforts in New York and indeed London and be very proud.<\/p>\n

She knocked Sabalenka out of Wimbledon before losing to Swiatek, with the reverse scenario then playing out at the US Open.<\/p>\n

Anisimova has also soared up the WTA<\/a> rankings after her latest efforts, reaching a career-high of fourth in the world.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a superb season for the 24-year-old, who does indeed look very likely of finally getting over the line at Grand Slam level sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Anisimova suffered another Grand Slam near miss at the US Open, losing her final to Aryna Sabalenka…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[3842,652,10844,99,428,11883,654],"class_list":{"0":"post-145042","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-amanda-anisimova","9":"tag-aryna-sabalenka","10":"tag-rennae-stubbs","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-us-open","14":"tag-wta"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
