Anisimova kept bad memories of the Polish number two in the world. Earlier this year she suffered a hopeless defeat against Swiatek in the final of Wimbledon. Anisimova then dripped off without having won a game (0-6 0-6).
In the chat on the track afterwards, Anisimova naturally reacted excitedly. “Playing here is so incredibly special. I have the time of my life here. The first day I was here, I thought:” Okay, let’s try to get through one round. “This was really a dream. Just coming back from Wimbledon is really special for me.”
