Amanda Anisimova has had quite the journey leading her to the Wimbledon semi-final, where she will face Aryna Sabalenka. The American reached the same stage of the French Open as a 17-year-old in 2019, but just four years later announced that she would be quitting tennis indefinitely.

It may be discouraging for bettors that Anisimova lost to Sabalenka in straights at the French Open, but the conditions at Wimbledon should suit her more than the clay at Roland Garros.

Eight months later, Anisimova returned to tennis at the start of the 2024 season. Since then, the 23-year-old has been looking much happier on the court and it led to her becoming a WTA 1000 champion in Doha. Now, she is also through to her first Wimbledon semifinal and set to break into the top-10 for the first time in her career on Monday.

23-year old Amanda Anisimova's career has taken flight this year after years of turbulence. Touted as a prodigy, she advanced to her maiden Major semifinal at the French Open 2019 at just 17 years of age. However, the untimely demise of her father in 2019 coupled with burnout dimmed her light.

Tennis has played a huge role in her family’s life. While they didn’t play tennis themselves growing up, Amanda’s parents Olga and Konstantin did get involved in the sport later in life through their two daughters. Amanda’s older sister Maria also played college tennis while attending the University of Pennsylvania.
