The American No. 13 seed did not shrink from her duel with Sabalenka on Centre Court, going after her shots at all times.

Anisimova addresses what next after being double bageled by Iga Swiatek in her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon.

Anisimova, 23, will return to Centre Court for Saturday's final against No. 8 Iga Światek, who steamrolled Belinda Bencic, 6-2, 6-0. Anisimova is trying to become the first American to win a Grand Slam in London since Serena Williams' seventh and final Wimbledon title in 2016.
