Summary
Aryna Sabalenka said after Sunday’s fourth-round Wimbledon exit that she wanted to “get completely drunk” and forget about tennis following Naomi Osaka’s 6-2, 7-6(2) win.
The world No. 1 said her ranking did not reflect her level on the day, adding she could not be satisfied with anything in her performance.
Sabalenka said Osaka grew stronger as the match went on while her own level dropped, leaving her feeling overpowered as Osaka attacked freely.
The Belarusian said she may need to change her preparation or approach for similar matches, though she felt she had done everything she could with what she had that day.
