World number one Aryna Sabalenka says she “just wants to quit tennis” after her French Open run ends with a quarterfinal defeat to Diana Shnaider. The match comes after Sabalenka lets a series of leads slip, including a set advantage and a 4-1 lead in the second set, and she later faces a sharp turnaround in the final stages. Sabalenka loses 3-6, 7-5, 6-0, with the decisive third set marked by a collapse in performance. Multiple reports describe her words as stemming from frustration and mental strain following another major setback. Several outlets note that the loss ends her wait for a first French Open title, with her grand slam record up to now largely built on other surfaces. Sabalenka indicates she will take time before reassessing, saying she expects to reflect in the coming days and hopes to “get back on track mentally.” Shnaider advances to her first Grand Slam semifinal in the process, while the French Open continues to produce unexpected results.
