Wimbledon, Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova
Digest more
To some tennis fans, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is the queen of petty. That reputation may have been upheld during Saturday's Wimbledon women's final in which Iga Swiatek dominated Amanda Anisimova in straight sets (6-0, 6-0) to win her first Wimbledon title.
The world No. 1 was thrown off by Siegemund's changes in pace and rhythm, but came through in three tight, tense sets.
Aryna Sabalenka wasn't going to make the same mistake she did the last time she lost in a Grand Slam tournament.

As if there were any doubt whether Aryna Sabalenka’s loss in the Wimbledon semifinals brought to mind her loss in the French Open final — and its aftermath — a month ago, she made it quite clear right away.
She still has a long way to go before the final, but whatever happens from here, this was a crucial victory for the world No. 1.
Instead, a solid purple icon appears next to Sabalenka for the live scoring. The tennis star is from Minsk, the capital city of Belarus and the absence of her flag is a bit complicated. Sabalenka lives in Miami, Fla., when she is not competing in tournaments.
