The American beat her countrywoman Cori Gauff 6: 7 (4), 6: 2 and 6: 1 and is thus in the round of the last 16. There she meets surprise woman Harmony Tan - the French had Serena Williams in round 1 conquered.
In the tie-break of the first set, Gauff had converted a 1:4 deficit into a win, but from the second round almost only Anisimova played - in the end there were 40 winners in her statistics. "This is the most special day of my career," she said afterwards.
Against Tan it comes to a duel of speeds: Anisimova with her powerful game, Tan with the ability to slow down the pace.
Anisimova had reached the semi-finals of the French Open in 2019 and knocked on the top 20, but then struggled with private strokes of fate and injuries.
Ajla Tomljanovic is also next: she won against 13th seeded Barbora Krejcikova 2:6, 6:3, 6:4.
