Amanda Anisimova recently ran into disappointment at the Miami Open as she crashed out in the third round against Belinda Bencic. Now, as the American looks forward to the clay season, she recently shared a snap of herself enjoying a pool outing with friends as she heals from her heartbreak.
Anisimova arrived at the Miami Open in search of her first title of the 2026 season. The World No.6 kicked off her campaign against Ajla Tomljanovic, clinching a 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 win over the Australian after a shaky performance. She then ran into Ukraine’s Yullia Starodubtseva, disposing of the 26-year-old 6-4, 6-2. In her round of 16, the American took on 12th seed Belinda Bencic and went down 2-6, 2-6 in an unexpected loss.
Thanks for the submission!
Now, Amanda Anisimova is recovering from her heartbreak at the Miami Open. The 24-year-old recently took to her Instagram story to share a snap of herself posing in a black bikini top as she relaxed in the pool with friends.
For Anisimova, the Miami Open marked the end of the hard court season, with the American failing to make it to the podium during the first three months of the season.
Amanda Anisimova parts way with coach Rick Vleeshouwers
Amanda Anisimova has had a slow start to her 2026 season, making early exits at several tournaments including the Qatar Open, Indian Wells and the Miami Open. In light of these lukewarm results, the American has parted ways with coach Rick Vleeshouwers.
Anisimova and Vleeshouwers began their partnership in late 2024 and the duo experienced immense success together, with the Dutch coach leading the 24-year-old to two Grand Slam finals and two WTA 1000 trophies.
Announcing the news of their split, Anisimova wrote on Instagram,
“It’s been quite the ride and journey together. Last year holds so many special moments and achievements together that I will never forget! Thank you Rick, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. For seeing and treating me as a human first, before an athlete. That meant the world to me, and made for a great partnership. I wish you nothing but happiness and success in whatever comes next for you in this chapter!”
On the tennis end of things, Amanda Anisimova recently withdrew from the Charleston Open that was scheduled to take place between March 30 and April 5, citing an injury she picked up in Miami. It remains to be seen when she decides to return to action.
