Frances Tiafoe, Amanda Anisimova advance to Round of 16 in Austalian Open

The feats keep on coming for the young American tennis stars (soon to be known for the casual tennis fan). For those that have followed the sport, many saw this happening a couple years ago as they were coming out of the junior ranks and turning professional.

Tiafoe, won a tightly contested five-set match against Andreas Seppi, an experienced Italian, that is no easy out. Despite only dropping one service game the whole match it was not easy for Tiafoe. He won 6-7(3), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. He now faces Grigor Dimitrov, the 20th seed, in the Round of 16. Dimitrove is interestingly coached by American legend, Andre Agassi.



The surging Amanda Animisova is making waves with her latest win. She handled Aryna Sabalenka, the 11 seed on the womens draw, in straight sets. For those observing, Animisova looked like the 11 seed and Sabalenka looked like the inexperienced 17 year-old. Animisova has really taken her serve to another level which makes her very tough. She could rally amongst the tour's best already and now has a consistent serve to lean on. She dispatched of Sabalenka 6-3, 6-2.


She has game!

Though at just 17, she is still growing and getting stronger physically along with her mental game. Which should make the top players wonder just what Animisova's ceiling will be once she has four-to-five years under her.
Anisimova takes on a very tough opponent, the eight seed, Petra Kvitova , and a grand slam champion in her own right. She has looked great this tournament. It will be a great test and gauge to see how Anisimova handles her first match in the second week of a major against someone that will come out and not let up. Regardless, it will be a valuable experience for this young American as she continues to play for her own titles and achievements.
