Amanda Anisimova is gearing up for the first Grand Slam of the year after reaching the semifinals in Auckland. The 18-year-old will open against Zarina Diyas, but she's got more than just singles on her mind.

The world No. 22 teased who her mixed doubles partner might be, and it looks likely that it's Nick Kyrgios. He commentated, "let’s get it!!!!!!! Bout time!" The two are friends and have practiced together before.

Last year, Anisimova revealed that Kyrgios is her dream mixed doubles partner.

Yet that's not the American's only recent partnership, as she has gotten together with Gatorade.
