And despite only being 23, Asinimova has long been touted as a Grand Slam finalist, having won the US Open girls' title in 2017 by beating Coco Gauff in the final. 2019 would prove to be a breakout year, with the then-17-year-old beating Sabalenka in the second round and defending champion Simona Halep in the quarter-finals of the French Open.

Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek both will be aiming to win Wimbledon for the first time when they meet in the women’s final.

Since Serena Williams' 2016 win, Wimbledon has seen a new women's champion each year and either Amanda Anisimova or Iga Swiatek will keep the streak alive.

If Anisimova can win Saturday, she would become the first American woman since Serena Williams to win at Wimbledon. Williams' most recent victory at the event came in 2016, when she defeated Angelique Kerber in the final.

Amanda Anisimova ousted the world's No. 1 female tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, on Thursday in the Wimbledon semi-finals — shocking the sports world as the American moves onto the finals. "Amazing Amanda!" sports announcers called, as the 12th-ranked player beat Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to nab her first-ever spot on center court.

The 23-year-old star could be the first American woman to win the tournament since 2016. A self-imposed sabbatical may have helped her get there.

Amanda Anisimova failed to qualify for Wimbledon's main draw. On Thursday, the American provided a gutsy effort to upset the world's top player at the grass-court major and reach her first Grand Slam final.

Sabalenka, the top seed at the Wimbledon Championships, was upset by No. 13 Amanda Anisimova in three sets on Thursday, and in the midst of their battle, Sabalenka apparently didn't love something the American pulled. In the second set, Anisimova, of the United States, celebrated a point before the ball went by Sabalenka.

With no completely dominant figure since Serena Williams retired after the 2022 US Open, there is more room for new faces.
