Amanda Anisimova has been forced to set the record straight due to comments about her physique after undergoing a body transformation. Her recent weight loss has caused a stir online in the aftermath of the US Open, where she was dumped out in the third round by Anastasia Potapova. Anisimova was set to return to action at the Singapore Open, but suddenly withdrew from the tournament due to a wrist injury.

Shortly after that decision was announced, there was a sudden rise in comments about her physical appearance. Anisimova has since responded, urging people to leave her alone and stop analysing her body on social media. Taking to Instagram, she addressed her followers with a firmly-worded message.

Anisimova wrote: “To all the health specialists and professional body commentators in the comments, I’m not on ozempic, please leave me alone and out of your unique posts.”

It’s not the first time that the world No 11 has pushed back against online trolls making comments about her appearance.

She previously felt compelled to issue a public response after somebody had said: “The most unathletic body ever! Narrow shoulders and giant boobs.”

Anisimova took a screenshot of the comment and shared it to her followers alongside the caption: “Idk what to think? Lol. The amount of people who comment on my body every day on social media… will never understand what the hyperfixation is about.”

Over the last few years, the 25-year-old has been doing plenty of fitness work behind the scenes alongside coach Hendrik Vleeshouwers.

Her efforts paid off at Wimbledon last year, when she reached her maiden Grand Slam final, although she was eventually beaten 6-0 6-0 by Iga Swiatek.

Reflecting on their hard work together, Vleeshouwers said: “We worked a lot on the fitness side to get her more capable of not being afraid to play the rallies, play long matches, to trust her body. If she trusts her body, she can trust her strokes a bit more.

“I saw a lot of raw potential. A lot of work to do, to get that raw potential into a playable form, like a fluid machine. With the experience, I feel she’s going to be more emotionally stable.

“Imagine she gets to the same areas somehow, and then we can easily look back at this year and use the data to do better.”
