World Number One Sabalenka Ousted in Toronto by Alexandrova

On Saturday, Russian 16th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova eliminated World number one Aryna Sabalenka in a fourth-round match at the WTA Toronto Masters tournament.
Alexandrova defeated the four-time Grand Slam winner 7-6 , 4-6, 6-4 in 2 hours and 29 minutes, stating she had to "risk as much as possible" to create opportunities.
Sabalenka made three unforced errors in the 10th game, eventually losing after her sixth double fault while both players traded breaks in the 11th and 12th games.
Alexandrova will face either American eighth seed Amanda Anisimova or Ukraine's ninth-seeded Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinals, reaching a 5-5 career record against the Belarusian star.
Sabalenka, a four-time Grand Slam winner, will seek her third consecutive Open title next month despite the Toronto loss marking a significant tournament upset.
