WTA world No. 31 Amanda Anisimova has accepted a wild card to play at W25 Orlando, FL, her first tournament action in over three months.

The 19-year-old, one of four US wild cards in the main draw, is the top seed of a strong 32-player field at the ITF World Tennis Tour event at the USTA National Campus in Florida, competing alongside the likes of Olga Govortsova of Belarus and Japan’s Kurumi Nara, both former top-40 players on the WTA Tour, and 2019 US Open junior champion Maria Camila Osorio Serrano of Colombia.

The former Roland Garros semi-finalist is returning to action for the first time since her 2020 season ended in Ostrava last October, having missed out on the chance to play in Abu Dhabi and travel to the Australian Open while she was under quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19.

“It was a rough two weeks, but I’m just happy my family and I are healthy,” she wrote on Twitter last month.

Anisimova will open her 2021 season against 16-year-old ITF Junior world No. 5 and former Orange Bowl champion Robin Montgomery, a Junior Exempt entrant who won her first ITF World Tennis Tour title at W25 Las Vegas in 2020. With the second round of qualifying set to take place on Tuesday, the first round will commence on Wednesday.

It promises to be a bumper spell for the ITF World Tennis Tour in Florida, with the entry list for next week's W25 Boca Raton already featuring former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard of Canada alongside Americans Caroline Dolehide, Sachia Vickery, Whitney Osuigwe and Varvara Lepchenko.

W25 Orlando is one of six ITF Women’s World Tennis Tour events taking place this week. Follow the live scores.
