Anisimova admits missing tennis during mental health break: "With that being said, I am so proud of myself"

Amanda Anisimova is currently away from tennis due to a mental health break but she's still missing the sport that has been part of her life for a very long time.

There have been more and more players taking time away from the sport recently due to the fact that it's a very demanding sport. You're never home, always on the road with constant travel on top of the physical side of the sport which can be gruelling. Daily practices, weekly events and more.

Anisimova followed the likes of Andreescu and Muguruza recently opting to take a mental health break from the sport and she took to Instagram to provide a health update. She wrote:
