Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1 seed who had not dropped a set through the first three rounds of the 2026 French Open, was eliminated in the quarterfinals on June 3 by Diana Shnaider, with Shnaider defeating her 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 at Court Philippe-Chatrier in Paris. The result ended Sabalenka's bid to reach the women's final without losing a set.
Shnaider, the No. 25 seed, trailed by a set and faced a 4-1 deficit in the second before reversing course. Sabalenka—who had dominated her opening matches—fell into an extended sequence of double faults and unforced errors while Shnaider steadied to take the second set 7-5 and the third 6-0. Sabalenka said after the match that she "just want[ed] to quit tennis right now."
The loss extended Sabalenka's struggles at Roland Garros beyond the quarterfinal stage. Shnaider, a 20-year-old Russian, advanced to her first Grand Slam semifinal, where she was scheduled to face Maja Chwalinska. The 73 percent of predictors who anticipated that Sabalenka would not win three consecutive straight-set matches proved correct.
