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

There are few benefits to losing in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam but when Iga Swiatek had her fingers prised off the French Open trophy, it had one unexpected benefit -- it lifted the pressure off her shoulders heading into Wimbledon.

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

Dimitrov most recently retired from the first round of the French Open with a thigh injury while holding a 6-2, 6-3, 2-6 lead over American Ethan Quinn. He retired from Wimbledon in the fourth round in 2024 with an abductor tear. He trailed Daniil Medvedev, 5-3, in the first set at the time of that injury.

Get to know Amanda Anisimova, the American who upset top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka to reach the Wimbledon final in July 2025.

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