Amanda Anisimova is turning up the heat—both on and off the court. The American tennis star recently dropped a workout photo on Instagram that sent her followers into a frenzy, proving that even when results aren't going her way, she's still putting in the work.
It's been a rollercoaster year for the 24-year-old. After reaching two Grand Slam finals in 2025, expectations were sky-high for Anisimova this season. But consistency has been elusive. She made a strong run to the Australian Open quarterfinals in January, only to stumble in the third round at Roland Garros against Diane Parry. Then came Wimbledon, where she hoped to bounce back—but a third-round loss to Madison Keys (3-6, 6-2, 6-3) left her searching for answers.
“It’s been really, really tough,” Anisimova admitted after the match. “I feel like I’m doing everything I can and working really hard. So for my game to still be at this point, it’s really hard to digest and take. … When I’m not able to make one forehand in the court, it’s really, really hard. So, I don’t know. I need to go home and take some time and figure out how I can fix this.”
Despite those struggles, Anisimova's latest social media post suggests she's keeping a positive mindset. The photo, which shows her in workout gear while shifting her focus to the hard courts, had fans flooding the comments with praise. It's a welcome distraction from a season that hasn't gone as planned.
Looking ahead, the US Open offers a prime opportunity for redemption. Anisimova has fond memories of Flushing Meadows—she reached the final there in 2025, knocking off Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek before falling to Aryna Sabalenka in a tight 6-3, 7-6 match. That run showed just how dangerous she can be when she's firing on all cylinders.
Could another deep run be in the cards? The hard-hitting American certainly has the talent. And if her latest workout photo is any indication, she's putting in the hours to make it happen. For now, fans are just happy to see her smiling—and looking strong—as she prepares for the season's final major.
Anisimova's journey echoes the recent swimsuit snap that also got fans talking, proving she knows how to command attention both on and off the court.
