Amanda Anisimova is an American tennis player who blends fierce groundstrokes with striking glamour—both on and off the court. Born in New Jersey in 2001 and raised in Florida, she began swinging a racket practically before she could walk, guided by her Russian-born parents. At just 17, she made a splash at the 2019 French Open by reaching the semifinals, charming the tennis world with her fearless game and signature two-handed backhand.

After taking a mental health break in 2023, Amanda made a poised return, reminding everyone that grace under pressure is part of her playbook. She continues to be a bright, captivating presence in tennis—and we’re all watching, a little starstruck.
