"The Break Conference"

Paws for effect.

Amanda Anisimova may not have won the 2026 Cincinnati Open (she lost in the quarter-finals to Jessica Pegula), but we doubt she'll forget the tournament in a hurry.You'll understand why thanks to this Pure Leaf commercial, wherein the iced tea brand invites Anisimova to a press conference… only there are no journalists or photographers in sight. Instead, Amanda's mum Olga and family dog Mochi arrive to help the two-time Grand Slam finalist relax for a few minutes, at least.

There is, however, a Columbo moment—just one more thing to boost Anisimova's mood: a pack of puppies that could not care less if she lost 6-0 6-0 in a Wimbledon final. To say she's shown dogged determination after that defeat would be an understatement.
