Anisimova stun Sabalenka, set up summit clash with Iga
The Morning Standard
|July 11, 2025
A little more than two years ago, Amanda Anisimova took a break from tennis because of burnout.
A year ago, working her way back into the game, the American lost when she had to go through qualifying for Wimbledon because her ranking of 189th was too low to get into the main bracket automatically.
Look at Anisimova now: She's a Grand Slam finalist for the first time after upsetting No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in a compelling contest at a steamy Centre Court on Thursday. She will face Iga Swiatek, who beat Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 to march into the final later in the evening.
