The last time Aryna Sabalenka gave a news conference after a difficult Grand Slam loss, she handled it badly. Wimbledon was a little different.

The No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka faces off against No. 13 Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon women's singles semifinals on Thursday.

It has been a challenging period for tennis player Aryna Sabalenka, but boyfriend Georgios Frangulis has been a massive support for the star. Sabalenka's ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov, a former NHL player, tragically died on March 18, 2024.

BBC Sport pundit Annabel Croft explains how Aryna Sabalenka came in to her match against Amanda Anisimova having been "softened up" by Laura Siegemund in the last round, resulting in the world number one "not really firing on all cylinders" in her semi-final defeat at Wimbledon 2025.

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

Anisimova, 23, returns to Centre Court for Saturday's final against the winner of Iga Swiatek and Belinda Bencic. Anisimova is trying to become the first American to win a Grand Slam in London since Serena Williams' seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016.

An inspired Amanda Anisimova tore up the script and soared into her maiden Wimbledon final by outclassing world number one Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 4-6 6-4 with a display of fierce determination and fearless shot-making on Thursday.

Amanda Anisimova has upset No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 at Wimbledon and will face Iga Swiatek in the final.
