Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka expressed praise for American star Coco Gauff after her win in the latest Grand Slam tournament. However, her remarks have been met with criticism from fans and fellow players alike.
Sabalenka initially stated that Gauff won the match due to her own mistakes following the loss. She also hinted at Iga Świątek’s potential victory if she had faced Gauff in the final. Sabalenka later released a statement on Instagram, acknowledging that Gauff handled the conditions better and fully deserved the win.
Despite admitting to having an off day with 70 unforced errors, Sabalenka remained optimistic about her performance. She previously won against Gauff in their previous match at the U.S. Open last year.
Gauff’s victory marks her second career Grand Slam title. The 21-year-old American showed resilience and determination throughout the match, overcoming initial setbacks to secure the win.
