Shnaider beats Sabalenka at French Open to make semi-finals
Diana Shnaider rallied from a set and double-break down, then won the final set 6-0 to reach her first Grand Slam semi-final.
- On Wednesday, Russian 25th seed Diana Shnaider shocked world number one Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 in the French Open quarter-finals at Roland Garros in Paris, eliminating the top seed after a dramatic second-set collapse.
- Sabalenka appeared in control, leading by a set and a break before blustery conditions on Court Philippe Chatrier derailed her rhythm, allowing Shnaider to mount an extraordinary comeback in windy, cold conditions.
- Shnaider, playing her first major quarter-final, capitalized on Sabalenka's 57 unforced errors to dominate the final set, handing the world number one a 6-0 bagel and sealing the upset.
- Shnaider advances to Thursday's semi-finals to face Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska, who defeated 22nd seed Anna Kalinskaya earlier Wednesday and has earned at least $870,000 in prize money.
- With top seeds Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic eliminated last week, the tournament landscape remains wide open; the Shnaider-Chwalinska winner will face Marta Kostyuk or Mirra Andreeva in Sunday's final.
