Petra Kvitova and Amanda Anisimova each have two career-altering wins—the Czech in Wimbledon finals, the American on the WTA tour. Anisimova, just 16 years old, has earned both of those wins this week in Indian Wells, giving those who followed her stellar junior career a sooner-than-expected look at what she can be capable of in the pros. The runner-up at the 2016 junior French Open and champion at the 2017 junior US Open, Anisimova followed up a drama-free, 6-2, 6-2 first-round win over Pauline Parmentier with an impressive, 6-4, 6-1 upset of No. 23 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The Russian is prone to early losses, but she's also capable of hitting anyone off the court. For Anisimova to handle such competition in straight sets is impressive, even at this incredibly early stage of her career.
