Aryna Sabalenka unexpectedly went out in Wednesday's quarterfinal at Roland Garros, following her Monday win over Naomi Osaka. The world number one was beaten by Diana Shnaider, even though Sabalenka took the first set 6:3 and led 5:3 in the second. denik.cz ↗
The match marked another major upset at the Paris Grand Slam. Sabalenka lost her chance to win her first Roland Garros title and suffered her earliest Grand Slam exit since the 2024 French Open, where she also finished in the quarterfinals. After the match she showed her frustration, and according to available information, she talked about wanting to quit tennis and possibly spending the whole day breaking things. idnes.cz ↗
Her previous win over Osaka had been tied to a significant moment in the tournament schedule. Their round-of-16 clash on Court Philippe Chatrier was the first women's match in the evening session of the French Open since 2023, ending a streak of 32 consecutive men's evening matches. After her victory, Sabalenka praised the crowd's support and expressed hope that this step would open the door to more women's evening matches. Tagesspiegel ↗
The debate over the position of women's tennis in the Roland Garros schedule thus continues even after the world number one's elimination. Tournament director Amélie Mauresmo will remain under scrutiny as to whether Monday's evening match remains an exception or translates into a more regular placement of women's matches in prime time. isport.cz ↗
