    That is one of the best aces I've seen of the whole tournament.

  2. Sabalenka holds

    Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    Aryna Sabalenka is a break up in the second set but still looks a little bit on edge.

    Sabalenka fights back from 0-30 to win four successive points and seal the hold with an ace.

    It wasn't pretty but the top seed consolidates that break.

  3. 'The tension was rising'

    Anisimova could feel the tension start to rise. When she screamed before she hit that forehand. One set up and at 3-3, it's understandable.

  4. Sabalenka breaks

    *Sabalenka 4-6 4-3 Anisimova

    A double fault gifts Aryna Sabalenka the break.

  5. Sabalenka 4-6 3-3 Anisimova*

    We're quite a way still from the finish line but if your Sabalenka you're also thinking that Anisimova is one thousand percent going to get nervous.

  6. Break point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 3-3 Anisimova*

    Are the mind games starting to work?

    Amanda Anisimova leads 30-0 but starts to grow more frustrated as the game progresses and a couple of net forehands hand over break point.

  7. 'There's some messaging going on'

    I like that look from Sabalenka to Anisimova after that last point when she was celebrating with her team. There's a little bit of messaging in between points for these two.

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    Incredible movement there from Amanda Anisimova, those big strides and getting herself across into the forehand corner, it was perfectly timed.

  9. Sabalenka holds

    Sabalenka 4-6 3-3 Anisimova*

    Amanda Anisimova drills a backhand winner down the line and Aryna Sabalenka is unhappy when the American shouts before the second bounce.

    Sabalenka lets out a shout of her own before the ball bounces long to get her to 30-15. A message intended for her opponent?

    Sabalenka seals the hold with an ace and lets out another roar.

    It's getting a little testy out there.

  10. *Sabalenka 4-6 2-3 Anisimova

    Aryna Sabalenka has disappeared under a towel at the change of ends.

    The three-time Grand Slam champion has a lot to mull over at the moment.

  11. *Sabalenka 4-6 2-3 Anisimova

    Jess Anderson
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    The desperation from Aryna Sabalenka is almost palpable.

    She has suffered so much disappointment this year, losing in two Grand Slam finals.

    Most people would struggle to come back from one.

  12. Anisimova holds

    *Sabalenka 4-6 2-3 Anisimova

    Wow.

    Aryna Sabalenka lets out a big scream after putting into the net.

    Amanda Anisimova gets a hold to love in 75 seconds.

  13. Sabalenka holds

    Sabalenka 4-6 2-2 Anisimova*

    Aryna Sabalenka might be struggling to impose herself on Amanda Anisimova's service games, but she is looking much stronger when she has the ball in hand.

    A second hold to 15 keeps us on serve.

  14. 'Sabalenka is trying to problem solve'

    *Sabalenka 4-6 1-2 Anisimova

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion

    I think there will have to be a drop in level from Anisimova this set. Sabalenka is trying to problem solve. She's staying composed - it hasn't always been that way when opponents trouble her.

  15. *Sabalenka 4-6 1-2 Anisimova

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    It's starting to become a bit of a chess match isn't it? Because by Amanda Anisimova getting so much good depth and using that central channel it's actually tough for Aryna Sabalenka to go into the forehand early on.

  17. Anisimova holds

    *Sabalenka 4-6 1-2 Anisimova

    Aryna Sabalenka goes hunting after the break and gets to deuce but a long forehand hands Amanda Anisimova advantage.

    Sabalenka just can't seem to find her range.

    The 27-year-old goes long again to hand over the hold.

  18. Sabalenka 4-6 1-1 Anisimova*

    There are a lot of empty seats now in the East Stand on Centre Court where the crowd is directly exposed to the sun.

    That first set ran for just shy of an hour so it seems some have opted to go and get refreshments before returning to see this second set (and potentially the match) conclude.

  19. Sabalenka holds

    Sabalenka 4-6 1-1 Anisimova*

    Aryna Sabalenka responds with a hold to 15 of her own.

    That brings an end to a three-game winning run for Amanda Anisimova.

    Can the top seed go on to break now?

  20. 'What does Sabalenka do?'

    *Sabalenka 4-6 0-1 Anisimova

    Daniela Hantuchova

    For Sabalenka she now knows she's not winning with her A game. if she can't overpower her opponent, what does she do? She doesn't have too many options.
