The defeat was a crushing blow for Sabalenka’s hopes of becoming the world number one as she needed to qualify for the Wimbledon final to replace Poland’s Iga Swiatek at the summit.

Despite that result, the 25-year-old will be largely pleased with her performance at the third Grand Slam of the year.
