Following Aryna Sabalenka's loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open women's final on Saturday, some of Sabalenka's comments after the loss seemed to blame the poor conditions for her loss, and in turn, discredit Gauff on her second Grand Slam victory. Sabalenka was emotional after a loss where she made numerous uncharacteristic errors, but a few of her comments did not come off well.
Though Sabalenka did commend Gauff on her "well-deserved" victory immediately after the match, she indicated that her mistakes allowed Gauff to win, not Gauff's own play.
