Aryna Sabalenka hat nach ihrer dramatischen Halbfinal-Niederlage in Wimbledon ihrem Frust freien Lauf gelassen – und kräftig gegen Gegnerin Amanda Anisimova ausgeteilt.
Die Weltranglistenerste verlor überraschend mit 4:6, 6:4, 4:6 gegen die amerikanische Außenseiterin und verpasste damit den Einzug in ihr erstes Wimbledon-Finale. Stattdessen sorgte sie mit markigen Worten im Anschluss für Schlagzeilen.
Der Frust über das verpasste Endspiel war bei Sabalenka spürbar – vor allem wegen des Verhaltens ihrer Gegnerin. Zwei Situationen während der Partie hätten sie besonders aufgeregt: „Ich habe noch versucht, den Ball zu erreichen, aber sie hat schon gefeiert. Das war eindeutig zu früh“, so Sabalenka.
[–>Als sie Anisimova darauf ansprach, sei deren Antwort alles andere als versöhnlich gewesen. „Sie sagte nur: ‚Das mache ich immer so.‘ Das hat mich richtig wütend gemacht.“
Tatsächlich habe ihr die Provokation dann aber sogar kurzfristig geholfen. „Ich war dankbar, dass sie das gesagt hat – dadurch habe ich wieder angefangen zu kämpfen“, erklärte die dreifache Grand-Slam-Siegerin. „Ich dachte nur: ‚Okay, jetzt zeig ich dir mal, wie richtiges Tennis aussieht.‘“
Wimbledon-Debüt dank Model-Jobs!: Jetzt muss SIE gegen die Nr. 1 ran
Doch auch ein zweiter Vorfall ging der Belarussin mächtig auf die Nerven: Anisimova hatte bei einem Netzroller keine traditionelle Entschuldigungsgeste gezeigt – im Tennis eigentlich Ehrensache. „Ich habe sie angeschaut und gefragt: ‚Willst du dich nicht entschuldigen?‘ Aber sie wollte dieses Match wohl einfach unbedingt gewinnen.“
Dass Anisimova nach ihrer längeren Verletzungspause nun ins Wimbledon-Finale stürmt, während Sabalenka erstmals seit drei Grand-Slam-Endspielen in Folge wieder früher scheitert, macht die Niederlage für die Weltranglistenerste wohl doppelt bitter.

NFL Week 7 winners and losers: Chiefs, Eagles rediscover offensive juice as Dolphins, Jets sink to new lows
Another Sunday, another full slate of NFL action nearly in the books. And Week 7 has had no shortage of major storylines so far: After Joe Flacco and the Cincinnati Bengals outdueled Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off this week's schedule, a couple of other surprising teams stole the spotlight, including the Cleveland Browns against the sinking Miami Dolphins.Some results were fairly predictable, like Mike Vrabel leading a decisive win over his old team, the Tennessee Titans, thanks to another crisp performance from quarterback Drake Maye. Others were a bit more eye-opening, like the Los Angeles Rams laying waste to the Jacksonville Jaguars overseas, despite the latter entering the international contest with a promising 4-2 record. And then there were the literal no-contest matchups, like the Kansas City Chiefs blanking the rival Las Vegas Raiders in a […]

Chicago Bears defense puts on a show against Saints: ‘It was pretty special’
CHICAGO — On Ben Johnson’s first day as Chicago Bears head coach, he said something indicative of a change at Halas Hall.“It’s clear that modern football in the NFL is quarterback-driven,” Johnson said in January. “That is no secret. You can look at analytics right now, quarterback success is a higher predictor of winning and losing than turnover ratio, which has been for 20 plus years.”AdvertisementThat might be true league-wide, by the slimmest of margins, but for the third win in a row during this four-game win streak, the Bears defense was a bigger story than the quarterback.Lovie Smith must be proud.Johnson isn’t changing the calculus to winning in one season. He doesn’t care how, though. He wants to win. So his theory on quarterback EPA over turnover differential may have to wait a bit before making its way to […]
