Aryna Sabalenka says she intends to “get completely drunk” after her Wimbledon defeat to Naomi Osaka. Multiple outlets report that the world No. 1 responded to losing her round-of-16 match in straight sets by expressing frustration and describing plans to unwind away from tennis. According to reports, Osaka beat Sabalenka 6-2, 7-6 (2), handing the top seed her earliest Grand Slam loss in four years. Several sources note that the match is a fourth-round meeting between Grand Slam champions, with Osaka moving on to the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Yahoo Sports also adds that Sabalenka is a four-time major champion but has not won Wimbledon singles, with the tournament remaining the only major where she has not reached even a final. Reports frame Sabalenka’s comments as an attempt to put the loss behind her and focus again, rather than a tactical or sporting decision. The coverage largely centers on her post-match remarks rather than any new match developments.
