Amanda Anisimova must improve one area of her game to win the US Open title

Anisimova’s form has stuttered in 2026.

The 24-year-old has reached the semi-finals of an event just once this year: at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Predict now – who are the two women who make the US Open final?

Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek are all out of form…

With the US Open fast approaching, Anisimova has the perfect opportunity to turn her season around.

If Anisimova is to do so, she must correct one specific area of her game.

Amanda Anisimova must reduce her unforced error numbers if she wishes to win the US Open

The rate at which Amanda Anisimova is hitting unforced errors is unsustainable.

Over the last year, Anisimova has struck the fifth most unforced errors on the WTA Tour [956], behind only Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek, Iva Jovic, and Mirra Andreeva.

Moreover, no other player has recorded a higher rate of unforced errors than Anisimova in the past 52 weeks.

The American has struck an unforced error in 23.4 per cent of her points over the past year, as per Tennis Abstract data.

Simply put, Anisimova is unlikely to win a Grand Slam title anytime soon if she continues to record unforced errors at such a high clip.

The 24-year-old must find a way of becoming more consistent ahead of the US Open. Otherwise, her chances of winning the title are slim.

Amanda Anisimova’s potential quarter-final opponent in Cincinnati

Anisimova has set up a Cincinnati Open fourth-round clash with Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova.

Anisimova has beaten Zeynep Sonmez and Alexandra Eala to reach the last 16, while Noskova has defeated Katie Boulter and Clara Tauson.

Anisimova will surely feel confident heading into Wednesday’s contest. After all, she has a 2-1 record against the Czech star.

The winner of the match between Anisimova and Noskova will play Jessica Pegula or Sorana Cirstea in the quarter-finals.
