Sabalenka initially said after the June 7 final that it was the conditions of the court and her mistakes, not Gauff's play, that led to the American's 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 victory at Roland-Garros.

Aryna Sabalenka says she has written to Coco Gauff to apologize for the “unprofessional” comments she made following her loss to her American rival in the final of the French Open.
