Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream: Time and channels

► FREE LIVE STREAM BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
► U.S. — ESPN via SlingTV or ESPN Plus (tbc)

Halep, from Romania, is a former champion of course, who won the title in 2019. Given she also won the French Open in 2018 and has been ranked world no.1 in the past, she has the pedigree to be a favorite here.

But it's far from a foregone conclusion. Now 30, Halep is currently ranked at 18 and seeded 16th, and hasn't won a WTA tournament since January. Her opponent, meanwhile, is on the way up. The 20-year-old American is ranked 25th in the world, having enjoyed a steep climb over the past couple of years that peaked as high as 21.

And she does also have experience of the latter stages of a Grand Slam, having reached the semis at Roland-Garros in 2019. What's more, she got there by beating — you guessed it — Simona Halep in the quarter-final.

How to watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream from anywhere with a VPN

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K. 

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Safety, speed and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. It's also compatible with loads of devices and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you want to try it out.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch the tennis.

The Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream will be shown on ESPN as part of its extensive coverage from the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.  

Our pick of these would be Sling TV: the Sling Orange package costs just $35 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN3. Plus, right now Sling is offering 50% off the first month

As well as being available through your cable service, you can also stream the action via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN's website. However, you'll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions. 

And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.

Sling TV offers two packages, both of which cost $35 a month. The Sling Orange option comes with 30-plus channels, including ESPN.

If you love sports, you might want to check out Fubo.TV. It's got dozens of sports channels, including ESPN, and offers a 7-day free trial.

Good news — Brits will be able to watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream for FREE on BBC and BBC iPlayer.

It's not yet clear which channel it will show on, but our guess would be BBC One. But you'll definitely find it on BBC iPlayer either way, as that will be showing action from all 18 courts via BBC Red Button. You'll also be able to find it on the BBC Sport website.

On holiday right now? Sign up to ExpressVPN or another VPN service and you'll be able to use the BBC iPlayer from wherever you are, so long as you have a valid TV licence.

Canadians can watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream on TSN (in English) or RSN (in French), as part of a cable TV package. If they've cut the cord, they can sign up for TSN or RDS streaming accounts for $7.99 (CAD) a day or $19.99 per month.

How to watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream in Australia

Aussies will be able to watch the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream on Channel Nine or on its on-demand service 9Now

That's great news wherever you are, because 9Now is available for free; all you need is an Australian postcode. That means Australians who aren't in the country right now will simply need to sign up to a VPN such as ExpressVPN in order to watch all the action as if they were back home.

However, 9Now won't have every single match. While big ties such as the Simona Halep vs Amanda Anisimova live stream will probably be on the service, to be sure of watching every Wimbledon 2022 match, ad-free and in up to 4K resolution, you'll want a subscription to Stan Sport.

Stan can be accessed via a wide variety of devices including many smart TVs, iOS and Android phones, Chromecast, Apple TV and more — plus it costs a very reasonable $20 AUD per month ($10 for a standard subscription and $10 for the Sport add-on). A 30-day FREE trial gives you a taste of the platform — and the good news is that the Sport add-on also has a 7-day FREE trial.

You'll need to pay extra to access HD or 4K streams and to increase the number of devices you watch on, but even if you go for the full-fat Premium sub with the Sport add-on, you'd still only be looking at $29/month.

As well as the Wimbledon live streams, Stan also has Champions League 21/22 live streams, Champions League soccer coverage and a huge amount of live rugby.
