Amanda Anisimova Stuns Sabalenka to Reach Wimbledon 2025 Final
LONDON — July 10, 2025
American tennis sensation Amanda Anisimova has pulled off a major upset at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the women’s singles semifinal to book her place in her first-ever Wimbledon final.
The emotional victory came at the All England Club on Thursday, marking Anisimova’s return to a Grand Slam final stage after several years of battling injuries and inconsistency.
Prior to this triumph, the only other time Anisimova had reached a Grand Slam semifinal was at the 2019 French Open, when she lost as a 17-year-old. This win now marks the biggest moment of her professional career to date.
Sabalenka’s Semifinal Curse Continues
For Aryna Sabalenka, the defeat marks her third career loss in a Wimbledon semifinal, having previously fallen short in both 2021 and 2023. Despite her impressive form throughout this year’s tournament — where she had dropped only one set before facing Anisimova — she couldn’t overcome the American’s aggressive play and mental toughness.
Coming into the match, Sabalenka had a dominant 11-2 record in Grand Slam matches where she lost the first set. However, Anisimova broke that pattern, holding her nerve and securing a career-defining win.
Rivalry History
With this victory, Anisimova now holds a 6-3 head-to-head record against Sabalenka, confirming her as one of the Belarusian’s toughest opponents on the tour.
The match delivered high-quality tennis and unexpected drama, making it one of the standout moments of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.
