Aryna Sabalenka was sent crashing out of the French Open after a shock 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 quarter-final loss to Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva after being hampered by illness throughout the contest.Victory made the 17-year-old Andreeva, who will face 12th seed Jasmine Paolini in the last four, the youngest grand slam semi-finalist since a 16-year-old Martina Hingis at the US Open in 1997 and the youngest at Roland Garros since the Swiss great that same year.
It also snapped Australian Open champion Sabalenka’s 11-match winning run at the majors this year and ensured her earliest defeat at the majors since the French Open in 2022.“I kind of see the game and just play wherever I want. I don’t even have a plan,” Andreeva, who is coached by Conchita Martinez, said of her strategy.“Me and my coach had a plan today, but I didn’t remember anything. I just tried to play as I feel ... Having her by my side is an amazing advantage for me.
