Although they did not play tennis themselves by growing up, the parents of Amanda, Olga and Konstantin, were involved in sport later in life through their two daughters. Amanda’s older sister, Maria too played university tennis during attendance University of Pennsylvania.
Here, get to know the parents of Amanda, Olga and Konstantin.
Meet Amanda Anisimova’s mom, Olga:
The couple emigrated from Russia to the United States in 1998; Their eldest daughter, Maria, was 10 years old at the time. Back in Moscow, Olga was an “accountant in the banking system,” said Konstantin New York Times in 2017.
“My wife had parents who had lived in the United States for a long time,” he told NOW. “They sent us an invitation to come and visit this country. We visited it, and we liked it more and more, and we start to think and take it seriously. ”
In the same interview, her mother said that Amanda was already playing tennis at the age of two: “Until the age of 7, nobody touched him,” Olga said about Amanda’s technique. “It was development.”
Based on a later interview with Maria in the NOW In 2020, Olga also opened a tennis camp, in part because Amanda never went to traditional high school as Maria did, rather focusing on her tennis career. “This is why my mother created a tennis camp, so that Amanda could spend time with children her age, so she didn’t miss anything,” said Maria. “Many of his friends today are friends of this camp.”
Meet Amanda Anisimova, Papa, Konstantin:
Amanda was born in New Jersey in 2001, but the family moved to Florida at the age of three. Also with financial training in Moscow before emigrating to the United States, Konstantin was his first tennis coach. But when she reached more competitive levels, Amanda went to coaches outside the family, and he continued to train in Aventura, Florida, to live.
“Certainly the pressure is large and above all the pressure increases when it goes unexpectedly,” he told NOW In 2017. “Because then it is very difficult to stay on the course and to be realistic and not to be delusional. I saw a lot of parents who were immediately delusional, and these stories are found in a very bad way. You cannot exaggerate too much. You cannot push too much.”
Tragically, Konstantin suffered from a sudden heart attack in August 2019, a week before his 18th birthday. She immediately retire of the US Open 2019.
“It was the worst thing that happened to me,” said Anisimova New York Post In 2020. “It was very difficult.”
Amanda said to New York Times In 2020, it was difficult for him to leave the house. “It never disappears,” she said to NOW. “But you can’t change it, and you have to come back to life.”
