Rafael Nadal Sends Personal Message to Amanda Anisimova Amid Historic Wimbledon Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amanda Anisimova found herself making history at Wimbledon 2025 following her Ladies' Singles Final match against number eight seed, Iga Swiatek— but not for the reason she had hoped.

Anisimova is seeking her first career Grand Slam and is to finally break through as one of the top players in the sport, after several years of nearly achieving greatness. In the semifinals, the American defeated Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one-ranked female tennis player, in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, and 6-4.

There were two so-called 'double bagels' at this year's Wimbledon -- the term used to describe a match ending 6-0 6-0 -- and American Amanda Anisimova starred in both. The first one launched the 23-year-old on the path to her first Grand Slam final as she thrashed Yulia Putintseva.
