Amanda Anisimova draws attention at the Cincinnati Open after cameras appear to show her drinking from a cup that looks like beer during her match against Alexandra Eala. Tennis Channel analysts and viewers debate what was actually in the cup, with commentary and social media speculation focusing on its appearance rather than any confirmed contents.
On the court, Anisimova’s victory comes as she overturns early difficulty. She drops the first set 4-6, then improves to win the second 6-4 and complete the comeback with a 6-2 third set. One source reports Anisimova tells her coach she felt she lacked fight in the opening set, before turning her performance around as the match progresses.
The outlets also frame the result as an important step toward consistency for Anisimova. After defeating Eala, she advances to face Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in the next round, with one account noting that Noskova is a difficult opponent despite Anisimova having beaten her previously in the China Open final.
