\u201cJust want to quit tennis right now,\u201d Sabalenka said after wasting a lead of a set and two breaks in a 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 loss to Diana Shnaider in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. \u201cWe\u2019ll see in few days. Hopefully I\u2019ll get back on track mentally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sabalenka\u2019s wait for a first French Open title continues despite the four-time major winner leading, 4-1, in the second set and being two points from victory when serving for the match at 5-4. What followed was a complete collapse as as she lost 12 of the last 13 games against a player appearing in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, looking increasingly frustrated and forlorn in the windy conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Just like her loss to Coco Gauff in last year\u2019s final, when she also won the first set before becoming undone with a slew of unforced errors, this one will take some time to get over.<\/span><\/p>\n
