2026 Canadian Open.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 1 was upset 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-4 by 19th-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova in the fourth round of the WTA 1000 event in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Sabalenka was playing her first tournament since her last 16 defeat to Naomi Osaka at Wimbledon last month.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time Grand Slam champion lost before the final at each of her last six tournaments, and she reached just one semi-final during this run, which was at the Berlin Open.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to her quarter-final loss to Hailey Baptiste at the Madrid Open in April \u2014 which ended a 15-match winning streak \u2014 Sabalenka had won 26 of her first 27 matches in 2026 during a sensational start to the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The Belarusian star won the Brisbane International and reached the Australian Open final before securing the Indian Wells and Miami Open titles to complete the Sunshine Double.<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a

Onto the next,\u201d wrote the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n<h2>What did Ekaterina Alexandrova say after beating Aryna Sabalenka?<\/h2>\n<p>Following her victory against Sabalenka, Alexandrova was asked about the challenge of facing the world No 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, I mean, she has every aspect of the game, I think, in a very high level,\u201d said the 31-year-old Russian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has an amazing serve, return. She can make amazing shots from both sides, the forehand and the backhand. She can play the dropshot and the volley. So basically she can do anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to be prepared for that, that, like, that there\u2019s not going to be, like, some easy points or easy shots. So every point you play, you need to be super focused and super prepared for anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause even when you make a good shot and you expect something easier for you just to finish the point, maybe it\u2019s not the case with her because she can play it like, you know, like even better shot from your good shot. I think that\u2019s the difficulty to playing against her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, she also is good with the switching, like, timing and the rhythm. Because like today I didn\u2019t feel any particular rhythm. Sometimes it was super fast, sometimes it was slower, sometimes it was with the spin. It\u2019s really hard to readjust for this type of game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/coco-gauff-alex-eala-respect-role-model-comments\">Alex Eala: Coco Gauff reveals what she \u2018really respects\u2019 about the Filipina star<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aryna Sabalenka sends 14-word message after shock Canadian Open loss Ewan West 11 Aug 2026 9:00 AM Aryna Sabalenka reacts during her match Aryna Sabalenka admitted she has \u201clessons to learn\u201d as she shared a message on social media after her surprise exit at the 2026 Canadian Open.
