Overview
- The world No. 1 lost to Naomi Osaka in the Wimbledon fourth round, exiting in straight sets and ending a run of strong major form.
- In a post‑match press conference Sabalenka said she wanted to “get completely drunk, forget about tennis, and try to get in better shape,” comments that drew heavy attention.
- She then travelled to Mykonos, posted poolside TikTok and Instagram clips, and replied sarcastically to messages saying she cares more about social media than tennis.
- Sabalenka kept the WTA world No. 1 ranking despite the Wimbledon defeat and has said she will rest briefly before returning for the North American hard‑court swing.
- Her season has mixed results — big WTA titles and an Australian Open final alongside shock Grand Slam losses — and the coming Canadian Open and US Open will show whether she can regain consistency.
