Anisimova Makes History
Amanda Anisimova etched her name in the history books by becoming the first of the four semifinalists to reach the final. She defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set match, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
- Powerful Serve: Anisimova's serve kept Sabalenka on her toes, despite serving only two aces.
- Frustration to Victory: Despite moments of frustration, Anisimova pulled ahead in the final set to secure her spot in the final.
Świątek vs. Bencic: A Clash of Titans
The other semifinal match featured Iga Świątek and Belinda Bencic.
- Świątek's Dominance: Świątek has been on fire, winning 10 of her 11 sets so far. She's aiming for her 22nd WTA singles title and a sixth major championship.
- Bencic's Resilience: Bencic has had a tougher road, with two of her matches going to a third set. She's currently ranked 34 in the WTA and upset No. 7 Mirra Andreeva to reach this stage.
A Historic Semifinal
None of the four semifinalists had ever reached the final at Wimbledon before. Anisimova broke that streak, and now someone else will join her in the final. Świątek is the favorite, but Bencic has shown she can pull off upsets.
