Amanda Anisimova Builds a Timely Winning Run
Amanda Anisimova defeated Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in straight sets to secure a quarterfinal spot in Cincinnati, 6-1, 6-4. She did not face a break point and won 88% of her first-serve points during the match.
This is the first time she has won more than two main-draw matches on tour since her semifinal run in Dubai earlier this year. It is also her best result in Cincinnati.
The American posted solid results earlier this year, but a wrist injury halted her progress and sidelined her for two months. Since returning, she has played only a limited number of events and failed to defend her runner-up points at Wimbledon, which pushed her close to dropping out of the Top 10.
She has reached three quarterfinals before this year and won two of them, including against Pegula at the Australian Open. This is her seventh career quarterfinal at WTA 1000 level and her first in North America.
