Aryna Sabalenka vs Amanda Anisimova Preview
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka overcame a tough challenge in her quarterfinal. The Belarusian player rebounded after losing the first set to Laura Siegemund (4‑6, 6‑2, 6‑4) on Centre Court. Sabalenka also admitted to the fact that she doubted herself mid-match, even joking about booking a flight home after the first set.
However, she used her powerful baseline game to take control and wrap up the win in nearly three hours. This marks her third Wimbledon semifinal appearance and extends her impressive streak to 10 semifinal showings in the last 11 majors, a feat unmatched since Serena Williams.

Having already secured the title at Brisbane, Miami, and Madrid, Sabalenka also reached finals in Indian Wells, Stuttgart, and the French Open (runner‑up to Coco Gauff in both Paris and Madrid), along with maintaining the World No. 1 ranking.
The three-time Grand Slam champion has evolved on grass, addressing past struggles on the surface with improved tactics and emotional control after previous frustrations at Wimbledon and Roland Garros. Her quarterfinal performance showed those gains, as she resisted the German rival’s tricky style to preserve her dominance.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Amanda Anisimova Head-to-Head
Anisimova holds a slight edge in their rivalry, leading the head‑to‑head stats 5–3 in eight professional matches. Their most recent encounter came at the 2025 French Open, where Sabalenka secured a straight‑sets victory (7–5, 6–3) in the fourth round.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Amanda Anisimova Prediction
Anisimova emerged as one of the strongest performers in the ongoing grass swing, leading the WTA tour with 11 match wins on the surface in 2025. This also includes reaching the finals at Queen’s Club and the top four in Bad Homburg. Her flat, powerful groundstrokes and aggressive timing are ideally suited to the low bounce, making her a dangerous opponent on fast courts.
Sabalenka, on the other hand, also secured notable results in her grass game. The Belarusian player reached the final at the Libéma Open and recovered from past frustrations to show improved serve variety and net play at Wimbledon.
Sabalenka comes into the match with an outstanding 42‑8 record in 2025 and a commanding 85% win rate overall. Her season featured 47 match wins and qualification for the WTA Finals.
Anisimova averaged around 2.2–3 aces per match on grass/hard courts and wins over 3.3 break points, though she also tends to rack up about 4.3 double faults. This means when Anisimova’s serve is firing, she can dominate, but Sabalenka’s higher-quality first serve and steadier service game should give her the edge.
Prediction: Sabalenka to win in three sets.
