Aryna Sabalenka's Quest for French Open Glory Continues

Unseeded Russian Andreeva Stuns Sabalenka in Thrilling Upset

Aryna Sabalenka's pursuit of a maiden French Open title suffered a setback when she was unexpectedly defeated by unseeded 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva of Russia in a thrilling four-set encounter. Andreeva, ranked 184th in the world, displayed remarkable composure and determination to overcome Sabalenka, the second seed and one of the favorites for the title.

Sabalenka Recovers to Reach Fourth Round

Despite her loss to Andreeva, Sabalenka bounced back in emphatic fashion by defeating Paula Badosa to reach the fourth round. The match was a close affair, but Sabalenka's power and aggression ultimately proved too much for her close friend.

Swtiatek Remains Sabalenka's Biggest Obstacle

As Sabalenka progresses through the tournament, she faces a potential clash with Iga Swiatek, the dominant force in women's tennis. Swiatek, who has not lost a match since February, holds a positive head-to-head record against Sabalenka. If the two players meet in the later stages of the tournament, it will be a highly anticipated showdown with significant implications for the title race.
