Amanda Anisimova reached the semifinals of Wimbledon by defeating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 7-6. Six years after her last major final, Anisimova celebrated her victory with visible emotion. She expressed growing confidence and enjoyment in her game. Aryna Sabalenka, the tournament's top seed and previous champion, had a hard-fought victory over Laura Siegemund prior to Anisimova's match. Despite Sabalenka's accolades, Anisimova holds a lead in their head-to-head series, setting the stage for a competitive semifinal clash.
I feel like everything has been kind of clicking for me, and I've been feeling more and more confident with each tournament I've played this year.
Anisimova's victory marked a stark contrast to that of her opponent in Thursday's semifinal.
In just under three hours, Aryna Sabalenka had come back to defeat Laura Siegemund on Centre Court.
On paper, the match between Anisimova and Sabalenka might seem to be a lopsided, David vs. Goliath affair.
