Canadian Open finalist Amanda Anisimova savagely shuts down troll after being told to 'stop eating like a cow'
WTA
Amanda Anisimova will be flying high in confidence in reaching the Canadian Open final. But with more eyes on her has come scrutiny in particular after stating her ambition to become World No.1 and win a Grand Slam. But the American shut it down effortlessly.
Anisimova will face Jessica Pegula later this evening in the final in Toronto. But she faced weight jibes and trolling for stating her ambition still burns bright to achieve a particular goal. One social media user told her to lose weight to achieve that goal. But instead of ignoring the tweet, she responded.
“I still hopefully have many more years left in my career, and there are many goals that I have for myself that I want to accomplish throughout my career,” she said earlier this week.
“Like a small one for this year was to break into the top 100, and I've already done that, so I'm really happy about that. It's just small steps in the right direction to hopefully achieve the things that I want to be able to achieve, like winning a Grand Slam, and becoming No. 1 one day, so, yeah, I just, I hope that with all the training I do and staying healthy I can get to that point.”
But these comments seemed to irk one person who decided to troll Anisimova saying to stop eating like a cow. “First things first: Stop eating like a cow,” they wrote. When called out they tried to offer reason why: “Why? She wants to be world No. 1 player and win a GS. Being overweight as a professional athlete doesn’t really help her reach her goals.”
But Anisimova instead of ignoring it or flying off the handle savagely shut the troll down. “Don’t you have anything better to do than comment on a 22 year olds body?” the former world No. 21 replied. “Like do you have a job or friends ? Damn dude, trust me, I’m okay and I don’t think anyone here is asking for your advice lolz.”

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
