Amanda Anisimova, an athlete who was recently coached by Darren Cahill, announced on social media that she is temporarily ending her WTA career.

Amanda Anisimova is ending her WTA career due to mental health issues

The important decision is based on certain mental health issues, as the 21-year-old athlete said.

After a very successful season in 2022 (she won 33 WTA tournaments and collected $1,434,778 in prize money from tennis alone), Amanda increasingly experienced psychological difficulties as it became increasingly difficult for female athletes to cope with the results.

Also last year, Amanda reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, where she was defeated by Simona Halep with a score of 6-2, 6-4.

Amanda has a negative record this season: 3 wins and 7 losses.

The American said that at the moment the situation has become “unbearable” and that she will take a break from tennis as long as it is necessary for her health.

Recently, Anisimov has been repeatedly criticized in social networks for her appearance: she has gained a lot of weight.
