World number one Aryna Sabalenka showcased her resilience by defeating Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen in straight sets during the quarterfinals of the French Open. After a slow start, Sabalenka recovered to win 7-6 (3), 6-3, marking another significant victory against a player who had beaten her in their previous encounter. Despite an early deficit in the first set, she delivered a strong performance in the tiebreaker and maintained her momentum throughout the second set, advancing towards her goal of winning the prestigious tournament for the first time.
It was a true battle, and I had no idea how I could break her back and get back into the first set. I didn't start well, and I'm glad I found my rhythm and won.
I think we're all here for one reason. Everyone wants that beautiful trophy. I'm glad I have another opportunity, another semifinal to do better than last time.
