The Wimbledon final is set. American Amanda Anisimova will take on Poland’s Iga \u015awi\u0105tek on Saturday. The winner will walk away with the first Wimbledon title of their careers.<\/p>\n
Anisimova punched her ticket to the final first with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win over Aryna Sabalenka. It was a fantastic, back-and-forth match, but Anisimova came out on top in the end.<\/p>\n

The American relied on a fantastic serve, which registered just two aces, but put Sabalenka in tough positions all game. While Anisimova showed signs of frustration and poor body language during the match, she recovered enough to take a huge 4-1 lead in the final set. While Sabalenka battled back, that gap proved to be too big. Anisimova pulled out a narrow 6-4 win in the final set to advance to her first Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n
The second match of the day proved to be far less dramatic, as \u015awi\u0105tek dominated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the final. \u015awi\u0105tek played a phenomenal match and looked absolutely determined to reach the final at Wimbledon for the first time in her career.<\/p>\n
Her serve was dominant, registering two aces and contributing to \u015awi\u0105tek’s 26 winners. While she made more unforced errors compared to Bencic, \u015awi\u0105tek excelled everywhere else. She was 6-for-6 on net points and 5-for-5 on break points.<\/p>\n
While \u015awi\u0105tek will hold the advantage in the final, Anisimova could prove to be a difficult opponent. The two have never faced each other in a singles match, which could provide Anisimova with an opportunity to surprise \u015awi\u0105tek in the final.<\/p>\n
