Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka: ‘just want to quit tennis’ after French Open quarterfinal defeat - WTOP News 03.06.2026

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka expressed a desire to "quit tennis" after a significant French Open quarterfinal collapse, losing 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 to Diana Shnaider on Wednesday. Sabalenka squandered a one-set lead and a 4-1 advantage in the second set, ultimately losing 12 of the final 13 games in windy conditions. This defeat mirrors her 2023 French Open final loss where she also faltered after winning the first set. Sabalenka cited overthinking and unforced errors as reasons for her downfall, lamenting the missed opportunities against Shnaider, who is in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal. The tournament has seen numerous upsets, with top players like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Jannik Sinner also eliminated, leading to a semifinal field without a former champion for the first time since 1977.
