Amanda Anisimova's injury woes continue, out of Singapore Tennis Open with wrist injury
WTATuesday, 22 September 2026 at 10:05
Amanda Anisimova will not play after all this week at the Singapore Tennis Open with the American deciding to withdraw despite being in the country training for her return to action.
Anisimova lost in the third round to Anastasia Potapova at the US Open after beating Lili Tagger and Ashlyn Krueger. But the American has struggled most of the year mostly with this wrist injury that has blighted her.
She previously lost to Jessica Pegula in the Quarter-Finals in Cincinnati and prior to that Elina Svitolina in the Last 16 in Canada. She was due to face Talia Gibson in the opening round of the Singapore Tennis Open.
The 25-year-old was even doing TikTok videos of how she was trying to beat jetlag while she was in Singapore and so was in the country ready so this is another blow for her in what has not been the best follow up season to her truly incredible 2025 breakout.

What Anisimova has said on withdrawing
She opened up on methods earlier in the season as to how she combats injury issues and how she has been managing to curve that. But she then withdrew from multiple tournaments on clay and has always been a bit of a suspect injury doubt ever since.
“Lately I’ve been using a hyperbaric chamber because it’s supposed to speed up the healing process. That’s been the only thing I’ve been able to do because I’m told to rest," she said to Elite Daily.
"I like to cool down straightaway. In the gym, I use a bike, do some stretching and breathing. Then I’ll always go in the ice bath to prevent any soreness. Most of the time it’s really hot, so that’s also a good way to cool down. Afterward I shower, eat, and do some treatment with my physical therapist. We always have to train or either play a match again the next day, so it’s quite back-to-back," the former world No. 3 explained.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.
mandoist16-09-2026 - When will this repetitive "news" and wishful thinking stop?mandoist16-09-2026
- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
