NEW DELHI: Second seed Aryna Sabalenka was unexpectedly ousted from the French Open after a 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-4 quarter-final loss to Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in Paris on Wednesday. Sabalenka, hampered by illness throughout the match, struggled to maintain her form against the 17-year-old.
Andreeva became the youngest woman to reach the semifinals of a major event since Martina Hingis at the US Open 27 years ago. She also became the youngest player to achieve this feat at Roland Garros since Hingis in 1997.
