The world No. 1 was thrown off by Siegemund's changes in pace and rhythm, but came through in three tight, tense sets.

Sabalenka, the top seed at the Wimbledon Championships, was upset by No. 13 Amanda Anisimova in three sets on Thursday, and in the midst of their battle, Sabalenka apparently didn't love something the American pulled.
