And there it is.
The first of many, you suspect,
off that backhand wing.
So comfortable off that wing.
That's classic Navarro.
Bags of variety.
And counter-punching her way out of trouble.
Dealt with that nicely.
Once she's mid-court and lining up a backhand,
that is good night in the rally.
She'd lost 18 of 20 games in a row
if you go back to the French Open.
That has to feel rough.
Lovely.
Magnificent.
Unbelievable length in that final point,
which has been the platform for the opening set.
And it belongs, deservedly,
to Amanda Anissimova.
So good.
So strong off the back foot there, Mel.
She might have taken that out of the air earlier in the rally,
but she backed herself.
And rightly so.
Oh, she is putting on a show here.
And then there's that.
There is always that.
What a finish.
And Amanda Anissimova breaks new ground
as she books a first WTA semi-final on grass.
Emma Navarro made her fight so hard for it,
especially in that second set.
And it was getting very tight.
But the smile says it all.
And it's the world number 15
who makes it through into the last four.
