"It actually helped me to keep fighting," the Belarusian pro recalled using a point of frustration as fuel during the match

Sabalenka, the top seed at the Wimbledon Championships, was upset by No. 13 Amanda Anisimova in three sets on Thursday, and in the midst of their battle, Sabalenka apparently didn't love something the American pulled. In the second set, Anisimova, of the United States, celebrated a point before the ball went by Sabalenka.

Aryna Sabalenka has never been one to hide her emotions on the court, and that fire was on full display during her Wimbledon semifinal loss to Amanda Anisimova. The Belarusian star, a three-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1, was upset after a tense battle, and a little gamesmanship from Anisimova may have added fuel to the fire.
