Anisimova, the No. 12 player in the world according to the Women's Tennis Association, is set to face off against Sabalenka, the No. 1 player in the world, in the Wimbledon semifinals on Thursday, July 10 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Anisimova defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, July 8 in straight sets to keep her spot as the only American remaining in the women's singles side of the major intact. The 23-year-old Anisimova is the youngest American Wimbledon semifinalist since Serena Williams in 2004, according to ESPN.

How to watch Wimbledon 2025 women's semifinals: Can Amanda Anisimova overcome Aryna Sabalenka?
Wimbledon 2025 has featured upsets, unfortunate curfew interferences, faulty electronic line calls and key injuries. On Thursday, the spotlight will be focused on the women's semifinals, which are headlined by two top-ranked players, as well as No. 13 seed Amanda Anisimova (U.S.) and underdog Belinda Bencic. The last time a U.S. player won Wimbledon was in 2016 when Serena Williams defeated Angelique Kerber. That same year is also the last time a woman reached three major finals in a single year, when Williams and Kerber achieved it. Anisimova's opponent, Aryna Sabalenka (No. 1 seed), can accomplish the feat this year. Advertisement Matches can also be streamed on ESPN+. Sabalenka lost the first set to Laura Siegemund 6-4 in quarterfinal play, then bounced back to take the final two sets (6-2, 6-4). But Anisimova's game is very different from Siegemund's slice-heavy, tactical one, and the heavy-hitting Anisimova is playing some of the best tennis of her career. The U.S. talent has also won five of her and Sabalenka's previous eight matches, though none were on grass. There's no bigger force in women's tennis than Sabalenka, and Anisimova told reporters of the Belarusian, 'I know she's going to be playing some amazing tennis. I mean, there's nobody better that I can play other than her.' Anisimova was ranked below No. 400 (PIF WTA Rankings) after taking a mental health sabbatical last season, and next week she'll reach the top 10 for the first time. The 23-year-old is the youngest American woman to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since Williams in 2004, and she's risen in the rankings due to her power from the baseline. She doesn't have a weakness in that area, with an incredible backhand that produces down-the-line winners and a flat forehand that generates sharp angles. She plays a high-risk, high-reward game but is a strong serve returner, which is essential against Sabalenka. She covers the court well and has shown mental maturity since her return. Sabalenka is also known for her power, which is seen on the baseline (forehand and backhand), in her accurate first serve, and in the pace with which she plays. She's explosive but doesn't have the footwork that Anisimova possesses, and Sabalenka's mental game has always been a struggle, though she's improved it recently. Still, she's susceptible to inconsistency and unravelling in big moments. Regardless, she's the favorite in this match, often overpowering opponents, but Anisimova is a worthy opponent who could give Sabalenka problems. This semifinal match is not one to miss. The other semifinal features two prominent names in women's tennis — Iga Świątek (No. 8 seed) and Bencic (who upset 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva, the No. 7 seed). This is as far as Świątek and Bencic have made it at Wimbledon, and the Swiss player has done it just over a year after having a daughter, Bella. Advertisement Formerly the world's No. 1 player, Świątek has taken a (small) step backward in 2025. She hasn't won a title this year, though she has made it to the semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open. A fall to Danielle Collins in Rome also hurt her points and dropped her in the rankings, despite quality finishes all season. But after an easy two-game win over No. 19 Liudmila Samsonova (6-2, 7-5) in the quarterfinals, she looks to be near her top form. After the match, she said, 'I'm super happy and super proud of myself, so I'll keep going.' When asked about her comfort playing on grass, she answered, 'I really worked hard to make progress on the surface.' Świątek is a modern player with elite footwork, quickness and movement, which showed against Samsonova. Her forehand is what she's known for, and it comes with massive (massive!) topspin. While she can sometimes avoid her backhand, she's been much more aggressive with it at Wimbledon. She attacks short balls and dominates with strategy. She's had a frustrating 2025 and has shown more emotions than in the past, but pressure doesn't get to her often. Bencic played a solid and consistent game against Andreeva, even with a toenail injury for which she opted not to take a medical break. After the match, Bencic said Andreeva was a 'very tough' opponent, adding, 'I have a lot of respect for her. She's 18 years old and performing on the biggest stage … I was studying all evening yesterday to find a plan of what to do, and I think it worked out.' She also noted, 'I'm very proud of myself, actually. All my career, I didn't say it a lot to myself, but after having Bella, I really say it to myself every day.' She also gave props to those around her: 'It's not only me, I wouldn't be able to do it without my amazing family and also my amazing team. We worked so hard on the comeback.' A bonus for her? Daughter Bella is on tour with her. Advertisement Bencic has excellent timing, relying on finesse over power and is a counterpuncher. Her craft and IQ are top-notch, and she always has a thoughtful game plan. She hits fast and flat, especially from her backhand, which is her strongest shot. It will be Świątek's forehand vs. Bencic's backhand in this one. Świątek has a more complete game, but Bencic's on a roll. If Świątek makes it to the final, we may witness the first big step in her attempt to reclaim the No. 1 spot from Sabalenka one day. (Photo of Aryna Sabalenka: Clive Brunskill / Getty Images)

Novak Djokovic passes Roger Federer's legendary Wimbledon record
Novak Djokovic just took another step toward becoming the best grass-court player in tennis history. The Serbian defeated Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-7(6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 to advance to his 14th Wimbledon Semifinal. It's the most semifinals reached by one player in the tournament's history. Advertisement "It means the world to me that I'm still able at 38 to play the final stages of Wimbledon," Djokovic said after the match. He passed Roger Federer, who has made the final four of Wimbledon 13 times. Jimmy Connors has 11 appearances followed by Boris Becker with 9. It's another key record that adds to Djokovic's case as the best player to ever grace Wimbledon Centre Court. The win also gets him closer to breaking the record of all records: Federer's eight Wimbledon titles. Djokovic has seven of his own and could tie his former foe with a win this year. But to reach that illustrious mark, he'll have to go through Jannik Sinner and then potentially Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic faces Sinner in the semifinals on Friday and if he comes out alive he'll face the winner of Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz in the final. Advertisement It's a tall task for the Serbian who just lost in straight sets to Sinner at the French Open. But the motivation for Djokovic to become the best player ever on grass could push him to do the unthinkable. MORE: Bronny James' Summer League failure with Lakers goes viral
