World No. 12 Anisimova made an inspired comeback to reach her first Wimbledon final, beating Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, in a match that featured plenty of errors and few brilliance from both players in 30-degree weather.

But Anisimova won the match thanks to a stronger mentality. The unexpected victory was a pivotal moment in Anisimova's career, after she took a long break to prioritize her mental health.

"Right now I feel like everything is a dream. Sabalenka is a formidable opponent and I'm almost exhausted," Anisimova said in an on-court interview.

I don't know how I did it. Winning today and reaching the Wimbledon final is very special."

In the other semi-final, Iga Swiatek also reached the Wimbledon final for the first time after easily winning 2-0 (6-2, 6-0) against Belinda Bencic.

The five-time Grand Slam champion has previously struggled on grass because her playing style is suited to the clay courts of Roland Garros.

However, after losing his dominance at Roland Garros, Swiątek is performing impressively at Wimbledon 2025 and is determined to find his first Grand Slam this year.

The final between Swiątek and Anisimova on July 12 will be worth watching.
