I’m not done.” It was a heartfelt moment as she expressed gratitude to her squad and family, making it clear they aren’t allowed to miss her future finals. As for Anisimova, despite facing consecutive Grand Slam final losses, she graciously congratulated Sabalenka and acknowledged her own struggles.
