Wimbledon's Women's Singles: A New Champion Will Be Crowned

The women's singles semifinals at Wimbledon are done, and a new champion will be crowned. Amanda Anisimova made history by becoming the first of the four semifinalists to reach the final. She beat Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set match, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Anisimova's powerful serve kept Sabalenka on her toes throughout the game, even though she only served two aces. Despite some moments of frustration, Anisimova managed to pull ahead in the final set and secure her spot in the final. The other semifinal match was between Iga Świątek and Belinda Bencic. Świątek has been on fire this tournament, winning 10 of her 11 sets so far. She's aiming for her 22nd WTA singles title and a sixth major championship. Bencic, on the other hand, has had a tougher road to the semifinals, with two of her matches going to a third set. She's currently ranked 34 in the WTA and upset No. 7 Mirra Andreeva to get to this stage. This is a big deal because none of the four semifinalists had ever reached the final at Wimbledon before. Anisimova broke that streak, and now someone else will join her in the final. It's anyone's guess who it will be. Świątek is the favorite, but Bencic has shown she can pull off upsets. The matches were held on Center Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The first match started at 8:30 a. m. ET, and the second match followed at 9:40 a. m. ET. Fans can watch the matches on ESPN, ESPN+, or Disney+.
