Was Tennis Star Drinking Beer? Amanda Anisimova's Mystery Drink Goes Viral

American tennis player Amanda Anisimova stunned the crowd with a surprise win over No. 19 seed Alexandra Eala at the Cincinnati Open this week. Eala, who claimed her maiden WTA singles title in Washington, opened the match with a strong start, breaking Anisimova's serve in the 10th game of the first set. However, Anisimova quickly turned the tide, breaking back in the seventh game and holding her service games to force a tiebreak.

The second set was a back-and-forth affair until Anisimova secured another 6-4 victory for herself. In the climactic deciding set, Eala took the early lead but Anisimova responded with a six-game winning streak to clinch the match in a total time of 2 hours and 28 minutes. What made the match memorable was not Anisimova's stellar performance, but rather the viral moment when broadcasters Brett Haber and Lindsay Davenport questioned whether she was drinking beer during the game.

Their speculation, which went viral with over 10 million views, sparked conversations around the globe. However, it was later revealed that Anisimova had simply requested and was served a Red Bull, dispelling any rumors of alcohol consumption. Anisimova will now face Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in the next round.
