Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1, is eliminated at the Canadian Open in what multiple outlets describe as a surprise result, extending her recent period of underperformance. Rather than advancing deep into the draw, she fails to reach the later rounds expected of the top seed.
Both sources link the exit to a broader trend in her form over recent months. The Independent and Yahoo Sports report that Sabalenka has reached only one semi-final in her last six tournaments, and that she has not won a title since March. While the outlets focus on different emphases within her performance, they agree on the overall pattern: her results have dipped compared with her recent standards, and the Canadian Open result is another setback in that sequence.
No additional match details, opponent information, or reasons for the form decline are provided in the excerpts. The coverage therefore centers on the outcome and its place in a continuing run of results rather than on specific factors from the match itself.
