Madison Keys beats Amanda Anisimova in three sets at Wimbledon

Madison Keys defeated sixth-seeded Amanda Anisimova 3-6 6-2 6-3 on Centre Court to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon on Saturday. Keys dropped the first set but broke serve twice in the second set after Anisimova struggled with her toss. The 26th seed won 76 percent of first-serve points and limited her unforced errors to 23 compared with Anisimova’s 42.

A backhand winner gave Keys the decisive break in the fourth game of the third set, and she closed the match when Anisimova sent a return wide.

American results on the day Ashlyn Krueger advanced to the round of 16 with a 6-3 6-2 victory over Daria Snigur. Emma Navarro lost to 12th-seeded Marta Kostyuk 6-2 4-6 6-1. In the men’s draw, Zachary Svajda took one set from fifth-seeded Alex de Minaur before falling 6-2 5-7 6-2 6-4 on his Wimbledon debut.

Context from earlier rounds Anisimova had reached the 2025 final at the same tournament and recorded 20 aces in her previous match against Sofia Kenin. Keys had won the Eastbourne grass-court event last month. Keys was one of eight American singles players competing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
