Aryana Sabalenka has revealed her Wimbledon revenge plan in the US Open finals against Amanda Anisimova.

According to Express, defending champion Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the US Open semifinals at the Arthur Ashe Stadium to set up a final showdown against Anisimova.

The final against the American tennis player has given the world No. 1 an opportunity to avenge the 4-6, 6-4, 4-6 loss in their Wimbledon semi-final clash earlier this year.

During the post-semi-final press conference, the Belarusian opened up about her plans against the 24-year-old and said, “I think I have to trust myself, and I have to go after my shots. I felt like in that match at Wimbledon, I was doubting a lot of my decisions, and that was the main thing that was bringing a lot of unforced errors.”

“I gave her (Anisimova) a lot of opportunities, and of course, she played incredible tennis, but I feel like I had my opportunities. I didn't use them, and I feel like the key for me is to just go out there and, of course, fight, but trust my decisions and go after my shots,” she added.

Sabalenka and Anisimova will clash for the last Grand Slam trophy of the season at the US Open final on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
