The comeback trail in tennis has gradually become a freeway, and this year it became as crowded as the I-5 in Los Angeles during rush hour. The returning players left the game for all sorts of reasons, some sobering (devastating injury), some joyous (child birth), some ominous (burnout).

It’s hardly surprising that, with the likes of Naomi Osaka, Elina Svitolina, Rafael Nadal, Paula Badosa and Caroline Wozniacki resuming careers recently, Amanda Anisimova—who reached the fourth round of the Australian Open on Thursday, and is on a collision course with defending champion and No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka—has largely been lost in the shuffle.

It isn’t the first time.
