Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka has been eliminated from the French Open in the quarterfinals, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. The upset result removes one of the tournament's highest seeds from contention and reshapes the women's semifinal picture at Roland-Garros.
What happened in the quarterfinal?
Sabalenka fell to an opponent in the quarterfinal round, ending her run at the Grand Slam. The loss represents a significant departure from her usual deep tournament performances, particularly at majors where she has consistently advanced to later stages.
What's next for the women's draw?
The remaining semifinalists will now compete without the world No. 1 in the field. This creates an open path for other contenders to reach the final and compete for the title.
The second round of semifinals is scheduled to proceed as planned.
