‘Want to quit tennis right now’ – Aryna Sabalenka reacts after shocking defeat to Diana Schnaider in French Open | Tennis

Paris: Aryna Sabalenka's French Open campaign ended in dramatic fashion on Wednesday, losing to Diana Shnaider in the quarter-final.

The turnaround was particularly striking given Sabalenka's status entering the latter stages of the tournament. With other major champions already eliminated from the draw, she had emerged as one of the leading contenders for the title. Instead, her challenge came to an abrupt end after she lost 10 consecutive games…

Paris: Roland Garros witnessed another major shock in 2026 as world number one Aryna Sabalenka exited the French Open after a dramatic collapse against Diana Shnaider in the quarter-finals. Earlier, the men’s side of the competition saw Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic being eliminated and this time, Sabalenka also failed to live up to her reputation.  Last year’s finalist in Paris and the highest-ranked player remaining in the field, Sabalenka,  appeared firmly in control when she led 6-3, 4-1 in the second set. From that point, the match swung sharply in momentum, with Shnaider producing a sustained surge that overturned…
