Aryna Sabalenka beat Naomi Osaka 7-5, 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals and afterwards the world No 1 said: ‘It’s really important they put the match as a night session’

Organizers have been reluctant to schedule a women's match in the coveted slot in the past, doing so only three times since 2021.

Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka will face off in the French Open's first women's night session since 2023, breaking a streak of 32 consecutive men's matches in primetime.
