Aryna Sabalenka was devastated by her loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open final. Despite her rise to No. 1 and impressive performance throughout the tournament, Sabalenka couldn't overcome her frustrations during the trophy ceremony and in interviews, blaming her own errors rather than acknowledging Gauff's skill. Gauff's capability as a strong defensive player and competitor was highlighted, showcasing her ability to exert pressure on opponents. The match concluded with Gauff's impressive fighting spirit, particularly amidst challenging conditions.
During the trophy ceremony, with Gauff sitting metres away, Sabalenka's insistence on repeatedly lamenting her terrible match was awkward enough.
Sabalenka tripled down in her press conference, claiming Gauff had not won because of her incredible level, but rather due to her own mistakes off easy balls.
Over the years, Gauff has built herself into one of the toughest players on the tour, combining defensive prowess with improvisational skills, intelligence, and discipline.
This was an immense fighting performance from Gauff, and an impressive victory that showcased her ability to excel even in challenging conditions.
