Aryna Sabalenka<\/a> has been knocked out in the fourth round of Wimbledon<\/a> by an inspired Naomi Osaka<\/a>, blowing the women\u2019s draw wide open.<\/p>\n

With eight grand slam titles between them, it was Osaka who produced a big upset with a 6-2, 7-6(2) straight-sets victory on Monday (AEST).<\/p>\n

The top-seeded Sabalenka was left screaming in frustration during a 32-minute opening set as her power game misfired.<\/p>\n

The second set was more like the high-octane contest the crowd expected, but a serene Osaka stayed cool to snap Sabalenka\u2019s streak of 21 unbeaten tiebreaks in majors and claim her biggest win since returning to the tour in 2024.<\/p>\n

After netting a backhand on match point, Sabalenka took her anger out on a ball, blasting it high out of the Centre Court.<\/p>\n

Osaka\u2019s win not only took her into the quarter finals of Wimbledon for the first time, it left the draw intriguingly poised with no clear favourite. <\/p>\n

She will face 10th seed Karolina Muchova in the next round, whose win over fellow Czech player Barbora Krejcikova guaranteed a ninth successive first-time women\u2019s champion at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was a really fun match. I\u2019m really grateful for this. Even if I lost, I would still think it was a great match,\u201d Osaka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean it\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve had so much fun on the court. To do it here, it really means a lot. I lost to her like three times in a row, so that really sucked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I wanted to turn it over.\u201d<\/p>\n

After third-round defeats for defending champion Iga Swiatek<\/a> and second seed Elena Rybakina<\/a>, the door seemed to have swung wide open for Sabalenka following three successive semi-final runs, but she was well below her best.<\/p>\n

The world No.1 gave a brutally honest answer in her post-match presser.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys, if you were expecting something really fun, not going to happen … I f—-d it up this year. I just want to go get completely drunk, forget about tennis,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aryna Sabalenka has been knocked out in the fourth round of Wimbledon by an inspired Naomi Osaka, blowing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":782508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-782507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=782507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/782507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/782508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=782507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=782507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=782507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
