The 24-year-old did not manage to win one of the Grand Slam titles, but she showed that she wants to be at the top of the WTA ranking, not caring too much about the opponent opposite her.
Laura Robson commented on her progress in a media interview, believing that the American is definitely the player who has impressed the most this season.
"If we're going to talk about people going 'bam', I think we have to talk about Anisimova with back-to-back Slam finals," Robson said, as quoted by Tennis Up To Date.
"The way her season came together from the summer onwards was just incredible. She recovered from love, love in a Wimbledon final to then back it up and make the US Open final."

Tim Henman also shared the same sentiment, aware of the previous problems she has encountered, but also noted how impressed he is with her desire to come back and show her potential.
