- World No 25 battles back for 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-2 victory
- In-form Anisimova into fourth round for third straight slam
It is entirely possible, should they keep improving at the same rate, that there may come a time when a clash between Amanda Anisimova and Coco Gauff is a grand slam final. Gauff has already reached one final herself, at the French Open last month, and on the evidence of her performance on Saturday, Anisimova is well capable of making one herself, perhaps even here.
The world No 25 turned the match around brilliantly after losing the first set on the tie-break, ripping through the second and third sets for a 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-2 win that puts her into the fourth round of a grand slam for the third straight time. It’s her first time in the last 16 at Wimbledon, though, and her delight was fully deserved.
