Miami was supposed to be her stage — bright lights, cheering fans, a chance to remind everyone she’s back. But when Amanda Anisimova walked onto the court recently, rumors swirled: was she truly healed, or hiding something deeper?
It started with whispers of wrist pain and mysterious treatment breaks during her match with Emma Raducanu — the kind those closest to her say she’s rarely forced to take. In that clash, she looked off balance, calling for the physio and battling through discomfort, all while trying to keep her composure in front of a skeptical crowd.
Behind that poker face was a player who had just months before stunned the tennis world — winning her first WTA 1000 title at Doha after a long stretch of injury and mental health struggles. That victory seemed like a turning point, proof that Anisimova had stuck around, endured, and returned stronger. Yet tonight, under the Miami lights, the question hung heavily in the air: has the comeback started to crack already?
Her opponent, Raducanu, dominated the match 6-1, 6-3. The scoreboard barely needed to capture what the body language already told: someone not quite whole. And that’s the part fans aren’t seeing. The taps on her wrist, the slight wince, the moment she stepped to the sideline — those were the clues.
But this isn’t just about one match. It’s about a broader story. Before Miami, Anisimova was praised for ending Mirra Andreeva’s telling 13-match win streak — even if that victory itself came with controversy. She had to tend to a blister mid-game, which drew criticism and suspicion. On social media, Anisimova posted a photo of the injured finger with a message that spoke volumes beyond the words.
Now, after Miami, the tension has amplified. Has the pressure of returning to high-stakes competition come too soon? Are her injuries catching up, or is this a strategic pause masked by smiles and media soundbites?
One thing is certain: the next chapters in Anisimova’s story won’t be written in silence. Whether it’s through explosive performances, gritty adversity, or candid reveals, she’s shown she can’t be ignored.
