“I got into a very deep, dark hole”: Sabalenka on a collapse that hands Roland-Garros an unpredictable finish

Unbelievable: Shnaider beats Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 after the world No. 1 implodes serving for the match

Diana Shnaider (No 25), 22, beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 on Court Philippe-Chatrier – from 1-4 down in the second set and twice two points from defeat when Sabalenka served for the match. A 6-0 third set against the player who had been the heavy title favourite. Incredible.
