Amanda Anisimova discusses mental health and tennis comeback

American tennis player Amanda Anisimova has discussed her professional comeback and the importance of mental health balance following her 2023 retirement. After stepping away from the sport due to mental health struggles and the loss of her father, the current world number 10 has returned to high-level competition.

Anisimova recently reached the final of the 2025 US Open, where she was defeated by Aryna Sabalenka. This performance followed a difficult Wimbledon final against Iga Swiatek. In recent interviews, Anisimova emphasized that she has learned to prioritize her well-being outside of tennis, noting that her previous inability to disconnect was a primary reason for her initial retirement.
