World No. Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 French Open after a hard-fought win over Amanda Anisimova, defeating the American 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday. The match, closing out the women’s fourth round, highlighted Sabalenka’s resilience as she overcame one of her toughest opponents on tour, setting up a high-stakes clash with No. seed Qinwen Zheng in the next round.
Sabalenka had reached the fourth round by dispatching Olga Danilović in straight sets, continuing her dominant run in Grand Slam first weeks since 2022 Anisimova, a former Roland Garros semifinalist, had earned her place in the last with a victory over Clara Tauson, but couldn’t halt Sabalenka’s momentum.
With this win, Sabalenka inches closer to her first French Open title, and tennis fans are now eyeing a potential semifinal showdown between the world No. and defending champion Iga Swiatek. The stage is set for a dramatic finish in Paris as Sabalenka continues her quest for Grand Slam glory.
