Overview

• Aryna Sabalenka called her French Open final comments “completely unprofessional” and expressed regret after writing a personal letter to Coco Gauff
• She acknowledged that her 70 unforced errors, rather than Gauff’s play, were the decisive factor in her 6-7(5), 2-6, 4-6 loss in Paris
• Coco Gauff said she was surprised by the remarks but would give Sabalenka the benefit of the doubt and maintained that she earned her second Grand Slam title
• Tennis figures from Rennae Stubbs and Chris Evert to Andy Roddick publicly weighed in on Sabalenka’s post-match outburst, offering both criticism and understanding
• With two Grand Slam final defeats this year behind her, the world No. 1 will use this week’s Berlin Open as a tune-up for Wimbledon
