  1. Second break back point Anisimova

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-0 Anisimova

    Fine margins.

    Aryna Sabalenka's forehand looks like it's dropping long but it kisses a blade of grass on the baseline to get to deuce.

    The world number one can't build further, though, and a low shot crashes into the net.

  2. 'Nothing in this'

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-0 Anisimova

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    There's absolutely nothing in this at the moment, it's like they're both just as stressed as each other.

  3. Break back point Anisimova

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-0 Anisimova

    Aryna Sabalenka puts into the net again to hand over break back point.

  4. Deuce

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-0 Anisimova

    Amanda Anisimova stays in the game at 30-30 but is then sent chasing across the baseline before eventually losing grip of her racquet - 40-30.

    The American continues to pester Aryna Sabalenka and gets to deuce.

    It's not going to be a straightforward hold.

  5. 'Anisimova can get quicker'

    Daniela Hantuchova
    Former world number five

    She doesn't have the best movement but she gets away with it quite often because of her aggressive game. There's a lot of room for her to improve in that department. She can get quicker.

  6. Sabalenka breaks

    *Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 1-0 Anisimova

    Aryna Sabalenka gets it!

    The first blow dealt in the deciding set of this semi-final.

  7. Break points Sabalenka

    Here we go.

    Aryna Sabalenka looks in the groove now and has a chance to break immediately.

  8. 'Impossible to decide who is favourite'

    Daniela Hantuchova
    Former world number five

    I think we are back to zero. It is impossible to decide who is favourite now. Both players have their own strengths. For Amanda it is the technical side, for Aryna it is her fighting spirit.

    They were incredibly close in that second set, if we look at total points won Anisimova is on 72 and Sabalenka on 70.

    Anisimova's serve just left her at the big moments, she just gave Sabalenka a look at a few more second serves.

  10. Game and second set - Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 6-4 0-0 Anisimova*

    Amanda Anisimova can't get her racquet behind a big Aryna Sabalenka serve and that's the set.

    Strap yourselves in... we're going to a decider.

    *Sabalenka 4-6 5-4 Anisimova

    A little hiccup from Aryna Sabalenka with a double fault but she pushes on for set point.

  12. 'Aryna's team are there for her'

    *Sabalenka 4-6 5-4 Anisimova

    Daniela Hantuchova
    Former world number five on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    I love the way Aryna's team support her. They're there for her but don't get too excited. It's not standing ovations after every point. It's just right.

  13. Anisimova holds

    *Sabalenka 4-6 5-4 Anisimova

    This game just keeps rolling on.

    Amanda Anisimova gets to advantage but is dragged back to deuce but a relentless Aryna Sabalenka.

    Anisimova finally gets the hold when Sabalenka puts into the net.

    Sabalenka will serve for the set.

  14. Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    Jess Anderson
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    It feels like Sabalenka perhaps thinks she has Anisimova on the ropes here.

    There have been a lot of mistakes from the American in this game and a brilliant rally which ends with a backhand winner breezing past Anisimova to bring up more set points has the crowd on their feet.

  15. Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

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

    That was the best point of the match by an absolute mile, I don't know how Sabalenka has come out on top of that.

  16. Fourth set point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    Oh my.

    We've just seen the point of the match from deuce as Aryna Sabalenka gets a fourth set point.

    Sabalenka had her back against the wall but popped up with an impossible looking passing shot.

    Stunning stuff.

  17. Third set point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    A clever switch-up of serve from Amanda Anisimova catches Aryna Sabalenka by surprise and it's returned into the net for deuce.

    But the world number one finds a way to earn a third set point.

  18. Set point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    Amanda Anisimova saves with a forehand winner down the line for deuce.

    Aryna Sabalenka starts to target her opponent's forehand and earns another set point.

  19. 'An inch and Sabalenka is all over you'

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    Anisimova has pulled off ever so slightly and it's enough to allow Sabalenka back into it and as soon as you give her an inch she's all over you.

  20. Set point Sabalenka

    Sabalenka 4-6 5-3 Anisimova*

    Now, for the first time in the match, the pressure is heaped on the shoulders of Amanda Anisimova as she serves to stay in the set.

    The American double-faulted when handing over the break in her last service game and starts this one in the same way.

    Aryna Sabalenka clips the baseline to get to 30-40 and set point.
