From the moment Amanda Anisimova stepped out on to Centre Court, you could see the tension etched across her face.

The 23-year-old American had never played in a Grand Slam final before and, as the 6-0 6-0 defeat by Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final showed, the occasion overwhelmed her.

From the start of a match which lasted 57 minutes, Anisimova looked tight and made a stream of unforced errors.

“From my side, I think I was a bit frozen there with my nerves,” said Anisimova, who will rise to a career high of seventh in the world rankings after a run here that included beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement. If anything, I think it’s more experience for me on how to handle nerves.

“It’s my first Slam final, so at least I have that experience now.”
