Fearless Amanda Anisimova beats Aryna Sabalenka to reach first Wimbledon final after comeback
Amanda Anisimova shocked world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a tight Wimbledon semi-final, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. The 23-year-old American is the first player born this century to reach a Wimbledon final. Her win keeps American hopes alive for a third women’s Grand Slam title this season. Anisimova stepped away from tennis last year for mental health reasons but now guarantees a Top 10 ranking. She faces either Iga Swiatek or Belinda Bencic for the title.
