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

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.

Meanwhile, as the two players changed sides, the ESPN broadcast showed an irked Sabalenka asking Anisimova why she "didn't say sorry" after her winner clipped the net. Broadcasters Chris Fowler and Chris Evert even made note to point it out.

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.

Aryna Sabalenka said she did not want to "face that hate again" as she praised her Wimbledon conqueror Amanda Anisimova on Thursday - in stark contrast to her attitude following the French Open final when she was anything but complimentary about Coco Gauff.
