Aryna Sabalenka's reign as world number one is under threat after she was unexpectedly defeated by Sara Bejlek in the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Open. The Belarusian, who has held the top ranking since October 2024, lost to the 20-year-old Czech in two sets, 7-6 (9-7) 6-4. Sabalenka's position as world number one is now under threat, with Elena Rybakina able to replace her at the top of the rankings if she reaches the Cincinnati final. This is the first time that Bejlek has defeated a top-10 opponent and reached a WTA 1000 quarter-final.
