Osaka stuns world number one Sabalenka to reach quarter-finals
It is a first Wimbledon last-eight appearance for Osaka, who also reached the second week of the French Open for the first time last month.
A huge winner - the second of 21 she would hit in the match - gave Osaka an early break in the first set, and she went a double break up as errors flew off Sabalenka's racquet.
This is Sabalenka's earliest exit at a Grand Slam since the 2022 French Open, and the first time she has exited one in straight sets for 122 matches.
