Amanda Anisimova, 15, has qualified for 2017 French Open main draw after winning the 2017 Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge. The 2016 French Open junior finalist will become the youngest player to compete in the main draw at Roland Garros since Alize Cornet in 2005, and she is the first player born in 2001 to compete in a Grand Slam main draw.
Anisimova won wild card challenge by reaching back-to-back singles finals at the USTA Pro Circuit event in Indian Harbour Beach, Fla., and the USTA Pro Circuit event in Dothan, Ala.
Anisimova, currently the World No. 264, will be making her Grand Slam main draw debut. She competed in 2016 US Open qualifying in her only previous Grand Slam appearance. Anisimova is currently the No. 5-ranked junior in the world; she peaked at No. 2 in June 2016 after reaching the French Open girls' final. Per the USTA, Indian Harbour Beach and Dothan were Anisimova’s first career main draw USTA Pro Circuit events. She also competed in her first WTA main draw at the Miami Open this March, losing to Taylor Townsend in three sets in the opening round.
