Anisimova Stuns Sabalenka In Toronto To Reach First WTA 1000 Semifinal

By IANS News August 11, 2024 • 11:52 AM View: 480

American Amanda Anisimova: American Amanda Anisimova stunned Aryna Sabalenka at the Canadian Open to record her fifth win in seven meetings against the Belarusian player and secure her place in her first WTA 1000 semifinal.

Anisimova, who took a sabbatical from tennis in 2023 to prioritise her mental health, recorded a 6-4, 6-2 win to reach her first WTA semifinal in more than two years.

Although she went down an early break in the second, Anisimova used her flat, piercing groundstrokes to force more errors out of Sabalenka, and the 22-year-old reeled off five games in a row to seal the win.
