Anisimova expressed gratitude for the support she received from her family, team, friends, and sponsors, stating that they helped her navigate her “chaotic life.”
“With all that said, my 2025 wouldn’t have been the same or nearly as special, if it weren’t for the incredible people I have in my life.

The 24-year-old revealed that throughout the year, she felt “genuine joy” and mentioned that she cannot wait to do it all over again in 2026.
“I’ve felt genuine joy throughout pretty much this whole year, whether it was at home or on the road. And to me, that’s my biggest win of 2025. Can’t wait to do it all again next year x,” Anisimova added.
