Dramatic scenes in Aryna Sabalenka's match. Semifinal interrupted!
There was an incident in the stands. Unfortunately, one fan fainted, so the match had to be abandoned. Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova appeared on Wimbledon's Centre Court at 2:30 PM (Polish time).
With the score 2:3 against the world ranking leader, Sabalenka showed presence of mind by quickly passing a cold drink to the person in need, which could help in this situation.
The temperature in London during Thursday's match was very high. It's safe to say this is a bit of a setback. The opening of this year's tournament was also very hot, but unfortunately, similar incidents occurred during the match of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz .
Ultimately, the situation in the Sabalenka-Anisimova match was brought under control after just over 5 minutes of break in the semi-final.
