Going through a demoralizing defeat can take time for some players.
Alexander Zverev van Germany spoke about “lost” after a third consecutive Grand Slam Final League.
But others – such as Jannik Sinner, who reached a classic French open final of the Wimbledon men 35 days after losing men – were able to bounce back quickly.
Anisimova, who took a break of sport two years ago to protect her mental health, could look at what she learned during a stint studying with psychology at the university.
She hopes that a quote from the American author Marianne Williamson – about how pain you can burn and destroy yourself or burn yourself and burn you ” – will help the process.
And she will also get inspiration from the quotation of the poem by Rudyard Kipling as – ‘If you can meet Triumph and Disaster, and those two cheaters can treat exactly the same’ – that is above the entrance of midfield.
“I think it is really useful that that quote above is and that it will certainly remain in my mind in the coming days,” she told BBC Sport.
Former world number one Tracy Austin said she hoped that Anisimova would recover well because of the work she did to her mentality.
“Having her people in the neighborhood – being her mother, sister and cousin in the city – will help,” Austin told BBC Sport.
“She may quickly realize that it is her first major final against a former world number one who was 5-0 in the grand finale.
“This was a lot for Amanda to record it. Wimbledon adds another 25-30% pressure because it is Wimbledon.”
Anisimova said she had never lost a match 6-0 6-0.
“To be in my first Grand Slam final, it was absolutely very difficult to digest, but I was previously in difficult situations in my career, and I have the feeling that I have learned so many of those moments,” she told BBC Sport.
“The only thing I told myself was to keep my head high and to keep fighting because I didn’t want to abandon myself at any time.”
