The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

Amanda Anisimova reflects on her Wimbledon run, family support, jumping into the top 10 of the WTA rankings and excitement ahead of her favorite major, the U.S. Open.

Anisimova, 23, will return to Centre Court for Saturday's final against No. 8 Iga Światek, who steamrolled Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 6-0. Anisimova is trying to become the first American to win a Grand Slam in London since Serena Williams' seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016.
