Pavlyuchenkova says, "I couldn't stop crying for 20 minutes"

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova opened up in the press conference after being defeated at Wimbledon 2025 by Amanda Anisimova. The Russian player revealed that she could hardly train a few months ago due to being diagnosed with a disease: "Given the illness I was diagnosed with earlier this year, Epstein-Barr, I thought I couldn't do anything in the preseason. I didn't know if I could be here. I have to be happy with what I have done in the last three weeks.

I couldn't stop crying after the match for about 20 minutes. I don't know if it's the fact that I didn't know if it was my last chance to do something big. I've been through a lot this year, viruses, and Lyme disease. After Lyme disease, I also took antibiotics for six weeks, and then I had a hamstring pull just before Madrid. Every time I tried to come back, there was always something."
