The American player’s effective serve was instrumental, recording a mere couple of aces, yet it consistently challenged Sabalenka. Despite exhibiting moments of irritation and unfavorable non-verbal communication, Anisimova managed to regain composure and establish a significant 4-1 advantage in the concluding set. Although Sabalenka fought back fiercely, the deficit proved insurmountable. Anisimova clinched a close 6-4 triumph in the decisive set, thus progressing to her first Wimbledon final.
The subsequent match of the day was considerably less intense, as Świątek overwhelmed Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0, thus securing her spot in the final. Świątek delivered an exceptional performance and exhibited unwavering resolve to achieve her first Wimbledon final appearance.
Her serve was highly effective, accounting for a pair of aces and adding to Świątek’s total of 26 winning shots. Despite committing a higher number of unforced errors relative to Bencic, Świątek excelled in all other facets of the game. She had a perfect record of 6-for-6 on net points and 5-for-5 on break points.
While Świątek is favored to win the final, Anisimova has the potential to be a challenging adversary. The two athletes have yet to compete against each other in a singles match, which could give Anisimova a chance to startle Świątek in the championship.
