We’re down to the final four—now two! Anastasia and Nick recap the Wimbledon 2025 semifinals and preview a finals weekend filled with storyline-rich matchups: Amanda Anisimova’s comeback arc continues after her stunner against Aryna Sabalenka, while Iga Swiatek dismantles Belinda Bencic with the kind of form that wins majors.

On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz squeezes past Taylor Fritz, and Jannik Sinner breezes past an injured Novak Djokovic in a match that felt like watching Novak 2.0 take over the baton. We also break down a wild doubles semifinal (shoutout to Hijikata & Pèll!), toast to Arthur Ashe’s legacy, and explain why heading to smaller tourneys like Newport is still a tennis fan’s best move.

This one’s packed. Let’s get into it.
