If you’re a tennis fan, you likely know the name Amanda Anisimova. She’s top of mind for me at the moment as I write this, just a couple weeks removed from Wimbledon, where she made an inspiring run to the final, beating the No. 1 ranked player along the way.
That inspiring run had a brutal conclusion, however. In the final, she suffered the dreaded double bagel, losing 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes — one of the most lopsided outcomes in Grand Slam finals history. But the point here is not that she lost or how and why she lost.
