One fan said: "Classy from Anisimova, gracious in defeat."
Another tweeted: "Props to Anisimova."
A third fan added: "Class from Amanda after a tough afternoon. Her time will come."
After heading back into the locker room, Anisimova was visibly upset as she re-entered the court for the trophy presentation.
Speaking after the match, Anisimova said: "You're such an incredible player, it showed today, you've been such an inspiration to me, an unbelievable athlete.
"You've had an incredible two weeks, getting to your first final here and winning, it's so special so congratulations to you and your team."
She added: "Thank you to everybody who has supported me, it's been an incredible atmosphere, you guys have carried me through this championship.
"Even though I ran out of gas a bit today and wish I could put on a better performance, you guys have lifted me up today."
