After supporting Amanda Anisimova for the WTA Finals, Sam Querrey recently indulged in playful banter with Jack Sock after the latter revealed his pick for the tournament, which is scheduled to commence on November 1, 2025. Anisimova's latest appearance on the court was at the China Open, where she produced impressive performances throughout the tournament, reaching the final.
The American Tennis player locked horns with Linda Noskova and dominated the clash, registering a 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 win against her opponent. She is now vying for the WTA Finals title and is being backed by Querrey.
In the recent episode of his podcast, 'Nothing Major Show,' Querrey, Sock, John Isner, and Steve Johnson discussed their favorites for the upcoming WTA Finals.

"Give me my girl who I can't pronounce her name correctly, Amanda Anisimova. I think I said it right that time. No, I think she's gonna win it. I mean, luckily I can do it here. Once I get on the desk at ESPN and stuff, it's a full panic. Give me my girl Anna Samova to win it. I think she's playing the best right now. Uh, that's my pick anyway," said Querrey.
Continuing the conversation, Sock revealed his choice, saying,
"I'm taking Jasmine Paolini. I'm going to go with Paolini," said Sock .
Roasting Sock for his pick, Querry further said laughingly:
"That's a ridiculous pick," said Querrey.

Amanda Anisimova competed at the China Open while enduring her leg injury, and along with this, she also got her wisdom teeth extracted just before the tournament. Despite undergoing these painful adversities, the American managed to deliver her best and nab the China Open title.
Following this feat, she sat for a press conference, where she made her feelings known about the pain and how she kept pushing herself. (as quoted by WTA Tennis)
“I think it was obvious in one of the matches where I was in pain. I was just hurting all day when I was walking. Those were the hardest moments because you’re trying to have a conversation with yourself and figure out what’s the best decision to make," said Amanda Anisimova.
She added:
"We as athletes don’t feel great day in, day out. I think that’s just part of the learning process. With each match, I’ve been surprising myself and trying to learn how to work with physical pain, pushing myself in tough matches."
Amid her recovery from the leg injury, Amanda Anisimova enjoyed a theater night out with her family days after withdrawing from the Wuhan Open.
