Amanda Anisimova’s Inspiring Wimbledon Semifinal Comeback
Wow, what a journey it’s been for Amanda Anisimova. If you had told me at the start of Wimbledon 2025 that she would be the last American standing in the women's draw, I probably would have raised an eyebrow. But here we are, and Amanda is stepping onto Centre Court to face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. This is huge — not just for her career, but for American tennis fans who’ve watched her come full circle.
Let’s rewind a bit. Amanda burst onto the global tennis scene back in 2019 when, at just 17, she reached the French Open semifinals. Her powerful baseline game and natural composure caught everyone's attention. But the pressure that comes with early success can be overwhelming — and for Amanda, it was. In 2023, she made the brave decision to step away from the game, citing burnout and mental health struggles. That kind of honesty takes guts, especially in a world that often demands constant performance.
Fast forward to 2024: she returned, slowly rebuilding, match by match. And now, in 2025, she’s making headlines again — not for her potential, but for her performance.

Her run at Wimbledon has been nothing short of impressive. She stormed past Yulia Putintseva with a rare 6-0, 6-0 scoreline — a tennis "double bagel" if you will — and followed that with solid wins over Renata Zarazúa and Dalma Gálfi. In the quarters, she handled a seasoned Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets. Each match has added fuel to the fire, and her confidence is clearly growing with every swing of the racquet.
But today is the real test: Sabalenka, the top seed, a three-time Grand Slam champ, and a physical powerhouse. Still, Amanda has reason to feel confident. She actually leads their head-to-head 5–3 — though Sabalenka took their most recent clash at the French Open. This semifinal could go either way. If Amanda can stay aggressive and mentally locked in, there’s no reason she can’t pull off an upset.
What’s more inspiring is how Amanda talks about the game now. She’s said she’s “enjoying every moment,” and that her confidence is the highest it’s been in years. It’s not just about tennis anymore — it’s about resilience, growth, and proving to herself that she belongs at the very top.
Win or lose today, Amanda Anisimova has already won in so many ways. She’s reclaimed her place on the world stage with strength, grace, and a fighting spirit that fans can’t help but rally behind.
And if she manages to knock off the world No. 1? Well, we could be looking at the next Wimbledon champion.
