Anisimova thanks fans for 'special' win over Sabalenka in oven-like semi-final
-
LONDON - An inspired Amanda Anisimova tore up the script and soared into her maiden Wimbledon final by outclassing world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 with a display of fierce determination and fearless shot-making on July 10.
Her victory extended her win-loss record over her equally big-hitting rival to 6-3 and kept alive American hopes of a third women's Grand Slam champion in 2025, after Madison Keys won the Australian Open and Coco Gauff the French Open.
"This doesn't feel real right now. Aryna is such a tough competitor. I was absolutely dying out there. I don't know how I pulled it out," said Anisimova, 23, who became the youngest American woman to reach the Wimbledon singles final since Serena Williams in 2004.
"She's an inspiration to me and so many other people. We've had so many tough battles. To come on top today and be in the Wimbledon final is so incredibly special.
"The atmosphere was incredible. I know she's No. 1. But a lot of people were cheering for me. I just wanna say a huge thank you to everyone."
