Aryna Sabalenka's campaign at the Italian Open ended in disappointment as she faced a surprising defeat against Sorana Cirstea in the third round. Sabalenka, the world number one, has struggled recently, with this loss marking her second defeat in just three matches. Earlier, she had heartbreakingly squandered six match points in a quarter-final loss to Hailey Baptiste at the Madrid Open. Sabalenka aimed to regain her form in Rome, a title that has eluded her, but was unable to overcome the challenge posed by Cirstea. This recent performance raises concerns about her momentum as she heads into the crucial stages of the clay season, especially with Roland Garros on the horizon.
