Anisimova ends season early due to recurring wrist injury
MIAMI, (Florida): American Amanda Anisimova said on Monday she would end her 2026 season early to recover from a recurring wrist injury.
Miami, Florida - American tennis player Amanda Anisimova announced on Monday that she will prematurely conclude her 2026 season to address a recurring wrist injury. The 25-year-old most recently faced a third-round exit at the US Open, where she lost to Russia's Anastasia Potapova. Prior to the tournament, Anisimova had planned to participate in the Singapore Open but withdrew due to her injury concerns.
Additionally, she decided to skip the China Open in Beijing, where she had won the title last year by defeating Linda Noskova in the final.
In an Instagram post, Anisimova expressed her intention to "wrap up my season for the year" due to the persistent wrist injury that requires her attention. She emphasized the need to prioritize her health and well-being, stating, "Time to get healthy, reset, and see you all in 2027."
Anisimova's absence from the WTA Finals championship at home is likely, as she will also forego the Wuhan Open. Instead, she will concentrate on recovery and preparing for the upcoming 2027 season, with aspirations of returning for the Australian Open.
