アマンダ・アニシモフの元コーチであるリック・ブリースハウワーズ氏が、昨年のウィンブルドン決勝で敗退する前、練習を行わなかったことへの後悔を語った。最近のインタビューで同氏は、アリーナ・サバレンカとの準決勝を勝ち抜いた疲労により、このアメリカ人選手が試合で本来の力を発揮できなかったことを明らかにした。決勝戦はイガ・シフィオンテクが6-0、6-0で圧勝した。
ブリースハウワーズ氏は、YouTubeチャンネル「Diary of a Professional Tennis Coach」に出演し、決勝に至るまでの経緯について語った。激戦となった準決勝を制した後、同氏はアニシモフをオールイングランド・クラブのコートで練習させる代わりに、休息と家族と過ごす時間を確保するため、1日完全にオフにすることを決断した。今となっては、その判断が試合当日の不振につながったと同氏は考えている。
