Despite the heavy defeat, Anisimova said the tournament never to forget. “I know I couldn’t bring enough today, but I will continue to work and hope to be here one day.”
Anisimova later admitted in the press conference that she had been very nervous at the start of the final. “I was stiff with nerves,” she said. “And maybe I was also somewhat tired of the past two weeks. At least this was not how I wanted my first grand slam final.”
The American also said: “I think I was a bit in shock .. It is not easy to experience if you lose 6-0 6-0 in a grand slam final. But I told myself that I will come out stronger. There are plenty of things that I still have to do to get better.” Anisimova said she should work on her physically.
“There is still a lot of room for improvement, I think,” said the 23-year-old American. “I think it is earlier that I have more experience with how to deal with nerves. It is my first grand slam final, so at least I played it.”
