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.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark thinks that Pete Bevacqua took things too far in the wake of Notre Dame missing the College Football Playoff.Yormark, speaking on a panel in Las Vegas on Tuesday, called out Bevacqua for the way that the Notre Dame athletic director spoke out about the ACC and commissioner Jim Phillips this week.“I don’t like how Notre Dame’s reacted to it,” Yormark said, via the Sports Business Journal. “I think Pete, his behavior has been egregious … I think he is totally out of bounds in his approach, and if he was in the room, I’d tell him the same thing.Notre Dame, despite an impressive 10-2 season, was surprisingly left out of the College Football Playoff on Sunday. The school quickly opted not to play in a bowl game, either. Almost immediately, Bevacqua told Dellenger that he […]
