Anisimova Reaches Wimbledon Final After Major Upset

Amanda Anisimova upset world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to reach her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon, becoming the first American woman since Serena Williams to achieve this feat. Her victory comes just over a year after returning from an eight-month break for mental health reasons, marking a remarkable comeback. The match was highly charged, featuring disputed line calls and on-court controversy, with Sabalenka admitting that Anisimova's celebratory behavior and a net cord incident frustrated her but also motivated her second-set fightback. Despite her loss, Sabalenka remained composed in her post-match comments. Anisimova will face Iga Swiatek, who defeated Belinda Bencic in the other semi-final, in the championship match. Anisimova's unexpected run is being widely celebrated as a fairytale resurgence.
