Friday's duel was the second semifinal of the competition in the case of Anderson. The 32-year-old from the previous season reached the decisive meeting at the US Open, in which he had to recognize the superiority of Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
At Wimbledon, his best result until here was 1/8 finals. He is the first representative of South Africa in the "four" of this event since 1983, when this stage was reached by Kevin Curren.
In the quarterfinals of this year 's edition, he sensationalized the eighth winner of the London event of the Swiss Roger Federer.
Isner never reached the Grand Slam semifinal before. In the "eight" he once was found – at the US Open 2011. On the courts of the All England Club, his best result until here was the third round, where he remained in 2014-16.
In the final, Anderson will face world leader Nadal or Serbian Novak Djokovic (12th) seeded with "two".
