The world's top female tennis player was embroiled in a heated moment in Thursday's semifinals match at Wimbledon.

Following Aryna Sabalenka's controversial French Open press conference, she joked at a possible repeat after her Wimbledon semifinal loss to Amanda Anisimova.

Aryna Sabalenka wasn't going to make the same mistake she did the last time she lost in a Grand Slam tournament.

The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

As Anisimova closed in on victory in the final set, she sealed a hold of serve when one of her shots clipped the net cord and fell on the other side of the net, with Sabalenka scraping at the turf and ball but failing to return it.

The USA’s Amanda Anisimova toppled Wimbledon favourite Aryna Sabalenka in a fascinating semi-final, full of red-blooded power hitting and territorial shrieks.

Despite being the world's No. 1-ranked player for all of 2025, Aryna Sabalenka has yet to capture a Grand Slam singles title this year. After a controversy with reigning French Open champion Coco Gauff and a new incident at this year's Wimbledon Championships, it seems that fact might be getting to the Belarusian tennis star.
