Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova has quickly moved past her underwhelming Cincinnati Open campaign, turning her focus to the US Open mixed doubles, which is right around the corner. The American is set to partner with fellow rising star Holger Rune and recently offered a glimpse of their budding camaraderie as the duo hit the practice courts together.

Anisimova and Rune were both in action in Cincinnati, but their campaigns unfolded differently. The fifth-seeded American bowed out in the third round against Anna Kalinskaya, while the seventh-seeded Dane put together a strong run before being upset by dark horse Terence Atmane in the quarterfinals.
With Cincinnati behind them, both quickly shifted focus to the U.S. Open mixed doubles, which will be held during Fan Week at Flushing Meadows.
