French Open 2026: Aryna Sabalenka sees another Grand Slam chance disappear after Diana Shnaider defeat in Paris

World number one Aryna Sabalenka was knocked out of the 2026 French Open by Russia's Diana Shnaider, losing 3-6 7-5 6-0 in what is described as a shock defeat. The loss marks Sabalenka's earliest exit at a Grand Slam since the 2024 French Open, when she also fell in the quarter-finals. The result means Sabalenka has again missed a significant opportunity to add to her Grand Slam title collection at Roland Garros.
