The Wimbledon semifinals commence today, July 10, featuring two matches from the women’s singles bracket.
This year’s women’s singles competition has been particularly noteworthy, with three of the top five seeds being eliminated in the opening round. This is a significant occurrence, marking the first time in the Open Era (since 1968). Presently, only the No. 1 seed, Aryna Sabalenka, remains in contention.
In her semifinal match, Sabalenka will compete against American Amanda Anisimova, who has the opportunity to become the first American woman to reach the Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2019. Should Sabalenka win, this would mark her fourth consecutive appearance in a major final.
