World No. 32 Amanda Anisimova has had a tough start to the 2021 season. Anisimova’s misfortune began when she contracted the coronavirus before the start of the WTA Abu Dhabi in January, which forced her to withdraw from the tournament.
To make matter worse, Anisimova couldn’t return a negative test before boarding the flight to Melbourne and unfortunately had to miss the 2021 Australian Open.

“It’s hard for me to share this news but a couple days ago I fell and hurt my ankle. It was an accident and not tennis related. Thankfully it’s not too bad. I am so disappointed to be missing yet another tournament. The start to the year has not been easy, but I am so impatient to get back on the court. I am planning on playing in Dubai next,” announced Anisimova.
Having just played a single match, that too, in an ITF event during the first two months, Anisimova acknowledged being impatient to get back on the court.
The 2019 French Open semifinalist is aiming to play at the WTA Dubai Championships, which starts next week. Top players including defending champion Simona Halep, Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and many others will headline the Dubai Open.
