Keen to avoid repeating a past mistake, Aryna Sabalenka struck a diplomatic tone immediately after her three-set defeat to Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon semifinals.

Nevertheless, the home crowd cheered for Raducanu as her Wimbledon campaign and grass court season ended. During her post-match press conference, Raducanu was still visibly upset about how she failed to execute, but still saw the silver lining in her performance.

Amanda Anisimova reached her first Grand Slam final by beating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 4-6 6-4 at Wimbledon. The thrilling contest was also not without controversy.
