The reigning Australian Open champion had a rather hilarious post-match moment, as she took a sigh of relief after overcoming a tough opponent in the form of Keys. During the post-match on-court interview, she took a cheeky dig at the Wimbledon crowd, saying, ?Thank you so much for the atmosphere. Even though you support her more, I still enjoy playing in front of you guys.”

By doing so, Sabalenka channeled her inner Novak Djokovic. The latter has also had similar instances with the Wimbledon crowd during his illustrious career.

However, that didn’t deter the Serb, as he went on to win the match in four sets. Eventually, the Serb won the title by overcoming the challenge of Nick Kyrgios in an action-packed final.
