The 23-year-old will now look to become the first American to win the Grand Slam since Serena Williams in 2016.

The last four competitors in the women's singles tournament at Wimbledon are set as the semifinalists take the court on Thursday. With spots in the championship match on the line, Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Świątek and Belinda Bencic will take the prestigious Center Court.

Players and fans felt the impact of high temperatures at Wimbledon when Thursday’s semifinal match between top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova was delayed twice in the first set because of spectators feeling unwell.

Anisimova's talent has never been in doubt, but it's a physiotherapist who she credits for her deepest Grand Slam run in three years.
