Surprises keep coming in the French Open women's singles! The world number one was overturned, losing 10 straight games and getting bageled in the deciding set as Sabalenka collapsed.

The French Open women's singles quarterfinal match took place on June 3, Beijing time, featuring a clash between top-ranked Sabalenka and Schneider. Despite an early advantage and a dominant start, Sabalenka shockingly collapsed, dropping 10 straight games before losing 2-1. The deciding set saw her lose all six games. It was an incredible and unexpected turn of events.

The French Open has always been a breeding ground for upsets, with top players often falling early. This year is no different, as many strong contenders have been eliminated. However, world No. 1 Sabalenka had been steady, reaching the quarterfinals. Naturally, she became the biggest favorite to win the title, with a golden opportunity since rivals like Gauff, Rybakina, and Swiatek were already out.

Sabalenka started the match strong, taking the first set 6-3. In the second set, she pushed ahead and even held a 5-3 lead with match point, just one step away from the semifinals. But then the momentum shifted dramatically. Her errors increased, and she lost four straight games to fall 5-7. After dropping the second set, Sabalenka seemed dazed in the decider. She completely collapsed, losing all six games for a bagel, suffering a stunning 1-2 defeat. It was a truly mind-boggling meltdown, and it's hard to understand how she lost control.

Sabalenka's performance in this quarterfinal was deeply disappointing. She had a prime chance to win the title but let it slip away in such a frustrating manner. Although she is strong, she still lacks absolute dominance. This year's French Open is indeed full of surprises—chilling ones. This marks Schneider's first Grand Slam semifinal, a major career breakthrough, achieved by defeating the world No. 1. It's absolutely wild. With that, a new champion will emerge at this year's French Open. Who will claim the crown? Let's wait and see!
