Naomi Osaka Stuns World No. 1 Sabalenka to Reach First Wimbledon QF

By IANS News July 06, 2026 • 08:35 AM View: 519

Naomi Osaka produced one of the biggest upsets of Wimbledon 2026, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 7-6(2) on Sunday to reach her first quarter-final at the All England Club.

The former world No. 1 needed just one hour and 28 minutes to end Sabalenka's dominance in their rivalry, claiming her first win over the Belarusian in eight years. Osaka had lost all three meetings between them in 2026 and had not beaten Sabalenka since the 2018 US Open, but she turned the tables with an aggressive and composed performance on Centre Court.
