Before beginning her service game at 4-5, Aryna Sabalenka repeated the act of kindness. This comes days after Alcaraz was spotted doing the same.

Aryna Sabalenka had kind words for her 2025 Wimbledon Championships semifinal opponent, Amanda Anisimova, ahead of their clash. The Belarusian believes Anisimova is a strong grasscourt player.

"I definitely think this surface suits her game really well... That’s why she’s playing so well so far. She’s serving well. She’s hitting quite clean and heavy shots. We just played recently at the French Open. I had to work really hard to get the win. She’s a challenging player," Aryna Sabalenka said (via Tennis.com).

Anisimova holds a 5-3 lead over Sabalenka, a rare edge against the world No. 1 given their eight previous meetings. Notably, the Belarusian claimed their most recent match at the French Open just a month ago, winning in straight sets. Their Wimbledon semi-final will be their first encounter on grass.

Both players enter the contest in excellent form. Anisimova claimed her maiden WTA 1000 title in Doha and breezed through early rounds at SW19 with aggressive baseline play and strong serving.

Sabalenka, meanwhile, has been in phenomenal form this season. She has won multiple titles and reached the final of both previous Grand Slam events in 2025. She showed resilience by overcoming Laura Siegemund in a tough quarter-final battle at SW19.

Despite her top ranking and recent success, grass remains Sabalenka’s least dominant surface. The match promises fireworks, as Sabalenka aims to maintain her semi-final consistency and Anisimova looks to capitalize on her grass-court momentum and head-to-head advantage.
