It was billed as the Wimbledon women’s final that no one expected, it finished as a match that American rising star Amanda Anisimova will want to forget.
The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.
Anisimova, who's playing for her first Grand Slam, would be the fourth consecutive American win a major on tour if she finishes with a successful showing. Jess Pegula won the U.S. Open in September prior to Madison Keys taking the Australian this year and, of couse, Coco Gauff's memorable triumph over Sabalenka in Paris.
Anisimova was born in New Jersey—but relocated to Florida with her family as a child in order to boost her tennis career.
Anisimova's talent has never been in doubt, but it's a physiotherapist who she credits for her deepest Grand Slam run in three years.
