Amanda Anisimova shared a snap of a broken scented candle jar, expressing annoyance at the wax stuck on the floor with glass pieces. After some strong finishes in 2024, Anisimova is enjoying her off-season.
Anisimova had two major career breakthroughs in 2019, at age 17. She advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open by defeating Aryna Sabalenka. Her next successful stint that year was the French Open, where she upset Simona Halep to reach the semifinals, becoming the youngest player in over a decade to advance to that stage.
In 2024, the 23-year-old made her first WTA 1000 final at the Canadian Open, becoming the lowest-ranked singles finalist since 1984. Concluding her season with a second-round exit from the Wuhan Open, Anisimova busied herself with off-season activities, vacationing on a beach during Thanksgiving and attending a friend's wedding.

"Hey guys. I thought I’d make a post explaining what’s been going on and my plans. I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022. It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support"
