With Anisimova stunning the World No.1 in the women's category to reach the final, the American couldn't help but praise the Belarusian for inspiring her and many others to take up the sport. Anisimova also thanked the crowd for cheering as equally as her opponent, stating, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"This doesn't feel real right now. Aryna is such a tough competitor. I was dying out there. She's such an incredible competitor, such an inspiration to me and so many other players. We had so many tough battles and to come on top today to get into the final at Wimbledon is incredibly special. The atmosphere was special today. I know she's number one but so many were cheering for me so I just want to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone."
