Anisimova Gauff Sabalenka WTA Finals

Having qualified for a third consecutive semi-final at the WTA Finals, Aryna Sabalenka is savoring her victory against Gauff and is looking ahead to an explosive duel against Amanda Anisimova. "It's always a big battle against her," announces the world No. 1.

For the fourth year in a row, Aryna Sabalenka will be in the semi-finals of the WTA Finals. To secure her qualification, the world No. 1 defeated title holder Coco Gauff this Thursday. A nice revenge for Sabalenka, who obviously had the Roland-Garros defeat in mind.

"I was only thinking about how I was going to win. What was at stake in the group didn't matter to me. I just wanted to focus on my tennis and try to get revenge after Roland-Garros," the Belarusian first stated to Sky Sports.

She was then questioned about her semi-final against Amanda Anisimova:

"I will fight for every point. She is an incredible player, we always have great battles. We have a nice shared history. I am very happy to see her back, to see her fighting and playing her best tennis. It's always a pleasure to play against her because you know it will be a great fight.
