Aryna Sabalenka has revealed she contacted her former psychologist following a collapse at the French Open. The world No. 1 discussed the decision while preparing for a grass-court event in Berlin.
Sabalenka lost to Diana Shnaider in the Roland Garros quarterfinals after leading by a set and holding a 5-4 advantage in the second set. She dropped the next 10 games in a row and finished with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 defeat.
Speaking in Berlin ahead of her opening match against Ekaterina Alexandrova at the Grass Court Championships, Sabalenka said she called her former psychologist to discuss recent setbacks. “We had a lot of chats with the team. I called my psychologist that I used to work with,” she stated.
The 28-year-old has won three titles in 2026 but remains without a French Open crown. She said the sessions helped her examine patterns from matches she felt she should have won.
