On grass, Anisimova holds a balanced position near the baseline as the ball comes towards her side of the court.

Amanda Anisimova is set near the baseline, knees bent and racket ready, as the ball approaches on the grass. Her opponent waits beyond the net. The sequence’s sporting detail is the readiness: Anisimova is positioned to react, rather than committed to a stroke before the ball arrives.

That pause before contact is part of the work in a rally. From a balanced base, she can adjust to the ball’s direction and make her next move. The frame catches that preparation, not the outcome of the point.
