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's dream Wimbledon run continued on Thursday, when she d efeated top-ranked player Aryna Sabalenka in the Wimbledon semifinal. Anisimova won the first set against Sabalenka 6-4, then after dropping the second set, bounced back in the third to win the match in the final frame.

Anisimova was a teenage prodigy that America thought was primed to replace Serena Williams, as she is the first from those shores to reach the final here.
