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.

American tennis star Amanda Anisimova has advanced to The Wimbledon Championships final after defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The 23-year-old New Jersey native won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in 2 hours and 37 minutes on Centre Court Thursday to reach the first Grand Slam final of her career.
