The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

The No. 13 seed stunned No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, to reach her first major final at Wimbledon. She will face either No. 8 Iga Switaek or unseeded Belinda Bencic in Saturday’s championship.

She defeats No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in a semifinal Thursday and will face five-time major champion Iga Swiatek for the title at All England Club.
