The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

Amanda Anisimova stunned world number one and title favourite Aryna Sabalenka to reach the Wimbledon final just two years after walking away from the sport. The 23-year-old American kept her cool on a baking Centre Court to win a dramatic contest 6-4 4-6 6-4 in two hours and 37 minutes and give her nephew a fourth birthday to remember.
