Amanda Kay Victoria Anisimova (; born August 31, 2001) is an American professional tennis player. She has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 7, achieved on 14 July 2025. She is a two-time Grand Slam singles finalist at the 2025 Wimbledon and at the 2025 US Open. Anisimova has won three WTA Tour titles, including a WTA 1000 event at the Qatar Open.
As a junior, Anisimova was ranked as high as No. 2 in the world, and won the 2017 US Open girls' singles title. She rose to prominence at the 2018 Indian Wells Open when she scored her first top-10 victory at age 16, against Petra Kvitová. Anisimova's breakthrough came in 2019 at the Australian Open where she reached the fourth round by defeating Aryna Sabalenka, one of the leading contenders for the title. At the French Open, she upset Simona Halep, the defending champion and world No. 3, to become the youngest semifinalist at the tournament in over a decade. The next time she reached the fourth round of a major was at the 2022 Australian Open, when she defeated the defending champion, Naomi Osaka. That year, she reached the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships.
Anisimova reached her career-best ranking to date in 2022, before temporarily stepping away from the sport for health reasons. Following her return, Anisimova posted her career-best results, including the Wimbledon final, the Doha title, and a top-10 ranking, all in 2025.
