Aryna Sabalenka, who made waves with title wins at the Australian Open and US Open in 2024, is ranked on top in the WTA rankings. In pursuit of a fourth major title, the Belarusian executed strong performances at the Australian Open and the French Open this year, but succumbed to Madison Keys and Coco Gauff in closely contested matches.

In Wimbledon, she advanced to the semifinals after defeating formidable players like Emma Raducanu, Elise Mertens, and Laura Siegemund. Ahead of her head-on with Anisimova, Aryna Sabalenka made headlines with her cheerful dance on TikTok, leaving fans shocked at her laid-back mindset ahead of such a vital Wimbledon semifinal match-up.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Laura Siegemund posed tough competition to Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, winning the first set and leaving the reigning US Open champion with fewer hopes to win the round. Speaking of that, the 27-year-old revealed how she thought she was done for, ready to book her tickets back home.

"I need some time to cool down and recover. She pushed me so much. After the first set, I was looking at my box like, ‘Guys, book the tickets. We’re about to leave this beautiful city."

Sabalenka and her former doubles partner, Elise Mertens, won the US Open in 2019 and the Australian Open in 2021.
