Amanda Anisimova stunned world number one and title favourite Aryna Sabalenka to reach the Wimbledon final just two years after walking away from the sport.

The 23-year-old American kept her cool on a baking Centre Court to win a dramatic contest 6-4 4-6 6-4 in two hours and 37 minutes and give her nephew a fourth birthday to remember.
