Amanda Anisimova recently delivered her honest verdict on Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys’ podcast, showing her love and admiration for her fellow American tennis stars. Anisimova gushed over their show, admitting she has watched nearly every episode.
Pegula and Keys launched their podcast, *The Players’ Box*, alongside Jennifer Brady and Desirae Krawczyk earlier this year, shortly after the 2025 US Open. The show delves into the lives of tennis stars both on and off the court, giving fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at what really happens in the world of professional tennis.
During a post-match press conference at the China Open, Amanda Anisimova expressed her appreciation for the podcast, saying,
“I love that podcast. I think I’ve finished all the episodes. I’ve been watching it every night. I feel like I’m on FaceTime when I’m watching it.”
In the most recent episode of *The Players’ Box*, Jessica Pegula also showed her support for Anisimova, praising the two-time Grand Slam finalist for her impressive backhand skills.
### Amanda Anisimova Reflects on Her China Open Campaign
Amanda Anisimova was most recently seen competing at the China Open. The 24-year-old had a strong start in Beijing, defeating Katie Boulter and Zhang Shuai in straight sets. She then battled past Karolina Muchova and Jasmine Paolini before dominating Coco Gauff in the semifinals.
In the championship match, Anisimova outplayed Linda Noskova to claim her second WTA 1000 title of the year.
Following her victory, Anisimova shared insights into the highs and lows of her tournament experience:
“I think the happiest moment was today getting over the finish line. There’s no feeling like it really, when you are finally able to win the championship point. That was obviously the highlight of my week. Hugging my team.”
She continued, “There were obviously some really tough moments where I was thinking of pulling out a few times. I think those were, like, the hardest moments because you’re trying to have a conversation with yourself and figure out what’s the best decision to make.”
“I’m just really happy that I was able to stick it through and also trust myself and my team, who informed me about my body. Yeah, just trusting and believing in them and myself,” she added.
