Sabalenka ousted by Shnaider as shocks continue to rock French Open
PARIS: Aryna Sabalenka was dumped out of the French Open on a windy Wednesday at Roland Garros as Diana Shnaider staged an inspired comeback to beat the world number one 3-6 7-5 6-0 and further blow open the draw heading into the semifinals. In a tournament that has already witnessed several shocks, including premature exits for defending champion Coco Gauff and four-times winner Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka’s collapse was another unexpected jolt through the field. With world number one Jannik Sinner and 24-times major winner Novak Djokovic also early casualties, it means that for the first time since the 1977 edition of Roland Garros there will be no Grand Slam champion featuring in the semifinals of a major. “No thoughts, no emotions. I just want to quit tennis now,” a downbeat Sabalenka told reporters after her defeat. “We’ll see in a few days. Hopefully I’ll get back on track mentally. “I don’t know when was the last time that happened to me that I lost 10 games in a row. I guess mentally I got into very deep, dark hole over there, and I just couldn’t get back on track mentally.” While Sabalenka was left to rue her missed chances after going a set and a break up and being two points from winning the match, Shnaider said she had taken lessons from the Belarusian’s struggles in last year’s wind-hit final.

PARIS: Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva returned to the French Open semifinals with a 6-0 6-3 win over Romanian veteran Sorana Cirstea on a rainy Tuesday to continue her run in a Roland Garros draw stripped of many big names. Now among the leading contenders for a maiden Grand Slam title with defending champion Coco Gauff and four-times winner Iga Swiatek out, the Russian next faces the winner of the all-Ukrainian clash between Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk. The 19-year-old wasted little time asserting herself with ultra aggressive tennis in front of a sparse crowd beneath the Court Philippe Chatrier roof, racing through the first set in only 24 minutes. “I’m super happy I was able to play aggressive,” said Andreeva, who became the teenager with the most Paris main draw victories this century with her 16th win. “The last time I played her, it was a very tough battle. Every practice with her is very tough.
