"Most special day of my career" - Anisimova after win over Gauff

Amanda Anisimova played a superb match to take down Roland Garros finalist Coco Gauff in three sets after dropping the opening one.

Anisimova was on the verge of taking the opening set tiebreak having a 4-1 lead but she dropped it 7-4. She did not panic but rather continued playing well on the centre court of Wimbledon beating Gauff 6-2 6-1 in the next two. Speaking after she admitted it was a good win:

“It’s the most special day, I think, of my career. It’s just a huge privilege to play on this court. Before the match, I was just trying to prepare myself to soak in this moment whether I win or lose. Winning today is just so special.”

On the match itself, Anisimova added:

I think the worst thing for a tennis player is to lose 7-6 in the first set. It's really important to just bounce back and give everything I have. It was very easy to do, especially on this court, even though it was extremely exhausting."
