    This is a huge test for Anisimova. It's the first time in the match that she must be feeling as though she is very close. Let's see how she deals with her emotions now.

  11. Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-3 Anisimova*

    A reminder that Amanda Anisimova has only appeared in one Grand Slam semi-final before today - back in 2019 at the French Open - and has never featured in a Grand Slam final.

    This is also just her fourth appearance in the main draw at Wimbledon with her best previous run taking her to the quarter-finals.

    Can she keep world number one Aryna Sabalenka at bay now?

    I think sometimes it probably helps that you've got the experience that you can draw from and you know how to play the big points well.

    Equally, when you've got that scar tissue as well of not coming through some of these close ones.
