Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka edged out Polish star Iga Swiatek 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0 in the Roland-Garros semifinals. This win marks a significant milestone for Sabalenka, as she surpassed three consecutive title wins and 26 match victories at the French Open. Swiatek’s impressive performance, which included playing some of the best tennis of the year, earned her praise despite losing to Sabalenka. The Polish player has now gone a full year without winning a title, but remains in the Top 10. This loss highlights the intense pressure and stress that comes with competing at the highest level, where only one winner emerges from each tournament.
