Anisimova has a great record against Sabalenka, with the American leading their head-to-head 5-3 after eight matches on the WTA Tour. Sabalenka won their most recent clash in the last 16 of the French Open earlier this year – but Anisimova usually gets the better of her.

Aryna Sabalenka was dangerously close to suffering a shock Wimbledon quarterfinal exit but ultimately managed to avoid that scenario after creating a major comeback to beat world No. 104 Laura Siegemund 4-6 6-2 6-4 in nearly three hours of play.
