Sabalenka reaches Roland Garros 2026 semifinals after straight-sets win over Shnaider
The No. 1 seed defeated Diana Shnaider in the quarterfinals without dropping a set, keeping her bid for a third Grand Slam title alive in Paris.
The Belarusian enters the final four as the top seed and has not dropped a set throughout the tournament, a run of consistency that stretches back to the first round.
Quarterfinal breakdown
The match offered little resistance for Sabalenka. She imposed a power-based game from the opening games — dominant on serve and heavy off both wings — and gave Shnaider no openings to establish herself in the rallies.
What comes next
In the semifinal, Sabalenka will face the winner from the other half of the draw. A title in Paris would be her third Grand Slam.
