Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka goes out of the French Open after quarterfinal defeat to Diana Shnaider

By JEROME PUGMIRE  -  AP

PARIS (AP) — Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka wasted a lead of a set and two breaks to lose 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 lto Diana Shnaider in the French Open quarterfinals on Wednesday.

The four-time major winner Sabalenka led 4-1 in the second set and was two points from victory when serving for the match at 5-4 before completely collapsing against a player appearing in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal.

Sabalenka stood still and screamed loudly after losing a point to fall 0-30 down in the sixth game of the decider and, although she saved two match points at 0-40 down, she lost the match when she sent a shot into the net.

Sabalenka showed similar nerves when she lost in last year's final to Coco Gauff.

Earlier, Wednesday, Maja Chwalinska extended her remarkable French Open run by beating No. 22-seeded Anna Kalinskaya 7-6 (3), 6-3 Wednesday. ___
