Amanda Anisimova insists she is delighted to have another opportunity against Iga Swiatek as she seeks to leave her Wimbledon heartbreak well and truly in the past. Seven-and-a-half weeks after the American endured the most devastating SW19 final loss in over a century, managing not a single game against Swiatek, she will face the Pole once more in the US Open quarter-finals.

Anisimova has bounced back remarkably, with a commanding 6-0 6-3 triumph over Beatriz Haddad Maia on Monday evening propelling her into the final eight at her home Grand Slam for the first time. "I'm really excited and looking forward to it," she said of her clash with Swiatek. "At this stage of the game, you're going to play a really tough opponent regardless. So, to be able to have a rematch or to be able to face her again and give myself another chance, I'm really, really happy about that.

"I feel like it's going to be a really tough challenge, but I feel like I've been playing well. I'm sure it's going to be a great match, and I hope I can put on a good performance."

Anisimova had delivered her finest Grand Slam showing by shocking Aryna Sabalenka in the Wimbledon semi-finals only to crumble under pressure on the sport's biggest stage in the final.

Such experiences can occasionally prove to be crucial building blocks, but the 24-year-old added: "I don't think it helped me become a better player in any way.

"It wasn't a good performance by any means. I feel like maybe I learned some things from it and some things I can do differently, but above all I think it was just a learning experience.

"Bouncing back from that actually was a little bit difficult because that never happened to me before. But I've worked through it, and the hard-court season started off strong for me. So I feel like I have moved on from that at this point."

Swiatek has carried her Wimbledon momentum forward, dropping just one of her previous 19 matches and cruising to a 6-3 6-1 triumph over Ekaterina Alexandrova in the fourth round here.

The world number two faced scrutiny regarding her merciless approach following the Wimbledon final, yet she insists she's no different from any other elite competitor, declaring: "If you want to become an athlete, you need to want to win the point.

"Honestly, I think every athlete has kind of the same vision and mentality but obviously, because of the score at Wimbledon, everybody started asking this question. When you don't play sports, you don't get it, but if you do, then you know that you're not going to give anything for free."
