Sabalenka's struggles after one semifinal
The article discusses the decline in performance and the recent history of the world's number one female tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, following a dazzling period of success at the start of the 2026 season. She achieved significant accomplishments, including winning the Indian Wells and Miami tournaments. She began the season strongly with high confidence but has since faced mental fatigue and numerous errors since April, leading to a drop in her results. This was evident when she lost in Cincinnati to Czech player Sara Bejlek, with scores of 7-6, 6-4. This decline threatens her chances of retaining the world number one spot, as she needs to win the US Open and hopes for a possible slip by Rebeka done, who is closing in on her in points. Sabalenka affirmed that she has maintained her mental and physical health and sees the current challenges as an opportunity to rebuild her performance, pointing out the difficulty of maintaining top position in the long term in a sport characterized by intense competition and high stakes.
