Overview

  • They launched Wimbledon week by sharing a choreographed TikTok dance on Centre Court and fielding questions about their past spat
  • Sabalenka apologized for calling the French Open final her “worst match” and blamed her errors rather than Gauff’s performance
  • Gauff described the social-media gesture as a way to help everyone “move on” because they were both “tired of talking” about the incident
  • As world No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, Sabalenka and Gauff are positioned to potentially meet in the Wimbledon final
  • Some fans have criticized the reconciliation as a calculated move rather than a genuine repair of their relationship
