Wimbledon Semifinals Showdown: Amanda Anisimova Faces World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in High-Stakes Clash
London, UK – July 10, 2025
Tennis fans across the globe are in for a thrilling matchup as the Wimbledon 2025 semifinals kick off with a high-voltage clash between America’s Amanda Anisimova and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Centre Court, this encounter promises intensity, grit, and the kind of drama Wimbledon is known for.
πΎ Rising American Star vs. Belarusian Powerhouse
Amanda Anisimova, currently ranked No. 14 in the world, has had a sensational run this year at the All England Club. The 23-year-old American stormed into the semifinals after a commanding straight-set victory over Czech star Petra KvitovΓ‘ in the quarterfinals, showcasing her improved baseline control and mental toughness.
On the other side of the net, Aryna Sabalenka continues her dominant form. The 26-year-old Belarusian, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, has cruised through the Wimbledon draw without dropping a set. Known for her explosive groundstrokes and powerful serve, Sabalenka enters the match as the clear favorite.
π§ Head-to-Head Record
This will be the fourth career meeting between Anisimova and Sabalenka. The Belarusian leads the head-to-head 2-1, with their last match taking place at the 2024 US Open, where Sabalenka won in straight sets.
But Anisimova has momentum and the crowd on her side this time — and with Wimbledon often favoring the underdog story, the match is wide open.
πΊπΈ Anisimova Carries US Hopes
With Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula both falling early in the tournament, Anisimova is now the last American woman standing. A win against Sabalenka would mark her first appearance in a Grand Slam final — and the first Wimbledon final for an American woman since Serena Williams in 2019.
