Aryna Sabalenka has suffered another tough defeat in a Grand Slam. This time, it was in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2026 against Diana Shnaider, and after the match, she said she just wanted to quit tennis right now. These words have sparked a lot of discussion, and even Venus Williams herself stated on TNT Sports that she was affected by seeing how Sabalenka was feeling. "I felt sad, I got caught up in her emotions. I have a lot of empathy for her. Perhaps she should take a little more time if she needs it before the press conference because I don't think she wants to quit tennis," she said.
In fact, she argued why, acknowledging that "that would be a tragedy for tennis and a tragedy for her. The internal struggle is real. What happened today happens to every player at some point, and it hurts. The worst is disappointing yourself, and dealing with disappointing yourself is the hardest thing in the world. If you simply lose, you lose, but right now she's dealing with her own disappointment. It's hard to sleep at night with that. I will also say that any of us would want the year she has had. I don't think she should regret anything, this should make her stronger."
