'Worst final I ever played' - Sabalenka laments Paris loss
Aryna Sabalenka also lost the Australian Open final in three sets to Madison Keys [Getty Images] French Open 2025 Dates: 25 May-8 June Venue: Roland Garros Coverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app Aryna Sabalenka said it "hurt to show such terrible tennis" in what she described as "the worst final I ever played" in her French Open final loss to Coco Gauff. World number one Sabalenka, bidding for a fourth major singles title, put in a frustrated and error-strewn performance in a 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 6-4 defeat to the American. Advertisement Sabalenka committed 70 unforced errors - the highest in any women's singles main-draw match at this year's Roland Garros. The Belarusian has lost successive Grand Slam finals, having been beaten in three sets by Madison Keys in the Australian Open showpiece in January. Known for bringing humour to her speeches - Sabalenka jokingly threatened to fire her team after her US Open final loss in 2023 - the 27-year-old became tearful in Paris as she apologised to them for her performance. "It was honestly the worst tennis I've played in I don't know how many months," Sabalenka said. Advertisement "Conditions were terrible, and she simply was better in these conditions than me. "I think I was overemotional and I didn't really handle myself well. "I think she won the match not because she played incredible, just because I made all of those mistakes from, if you look from the outside, easy balls." Sabalenka also lost to Gauff in the New York final two years ago, despite taking the first set 6-2. In Paris, she led 4-1 40-0 in the first set but struggled to maintain that intensity on a windy Court Philippe Chatrier. A renowned big hitter and strong server, Sabalenka struggled for rhythm in the face of Gauff's supreme athleticism, and could not keep her frustration in check. Advertisement "I cannot go out there every time against her in the finals of the Grand Slam and play such terrible tennis," Sabalenka added. "It felt like a joke, honestly, like somebody from above was just there laughing saying, 'let's see if you can handle this'. "Honestly, sometimes it felt like she was hitting the ball from the frame. Somehow magically the ball lands in the court, and you are kind of on the back foot." 'Already have flight booked to Mykonos' Aryna Sabalenka was bidding for a first non-hard court Grand Slam singles title [Getty Images] Sabalenka has reached seven finals this year, winning three titles, and leads the WTA Tour with 40 wins in 47 matches. Advertisement However, the two major losses will sting. In Paris, she made serene progress through the draw before beating three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek in a momentum-swinging semi-final. She overcame Gauff in Madrid in the build-up to Roland Garros, but the American has now won both of their Grand Slam finals. Sabalenka will still be a favourite at Wimbledon, where her powerful game should translate well to the grass courts, but she will first take a break. "I already have a flight booked to Mykonos," the 27-year-old said. "I just need a couple of days to completely forget about this crazy world [and] being like the tourist." Advertisement Former British number one Greg Rusedski, who analysed the match for BBC Radio 5 Live, said Sabalenka is "already up there" as a Wimbledon contender. "She will reflect on being more calm in those big moments, not wasting energy on court and dealing with these things," he said. "The grass courts are much higher bouncing now, which suits her game. "On top of that, if she manages to get her sliced serve into play then I think she will have no problem whatsoever adjusting to them."

Coco Gauff wins French Open: Michelle and Barack Obama, Billie Jean King, Carlos Alcaraz and more congratulate the 21-year-old star
On Saturday, Coco Gauff etched her name into tennis history as the winner of the 2025 French Open. The 21-year-old tennis phenom defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets to win her first title at Roland-Garros and her second Grand Slam. After Gauff's big win, the young American earned the praises of a number of big names, who applauded Gauff for her tenacity and talent. Advertisement Former First Lady Michelle Obama congratulated Gauff in a post on X, alongside a video of Gauff's championship point. "Your determination, strength, and grace throughout the French Open has inspired us all — and showed us what's possible. Proud of you!" Obama wrote. President Barack Obama chimed in soon after. "Congratulation to @CocoGauff for an amazing championship at the French Open — the first American singles champion at @RolandGarros in a decade," the former president wrote in a post on X. "You make us all proud." Billie Jean King, the founder of the WTA, saluted Gauff on social media soon after her victory, congratulating her on her accomplishments. "Outstanding!" King added in the post. Gauff was also praised by another young tennis star, Carlos Alcaraz. "Many congrats @CocoGauff!!!" he wrote on X. Alcaraz will play in his own French Open final on Sunday against Jannik Sinner. Another tennis champ, Martina Navratilova, also congratulated Gauff on the victory. Advertisement "A great comeback and fight!" Navratilova, who won two French Opens of her own, wrote on social media. Notably, after Gauff won the match, the first person she greeted was director Spike Lee, whom she hugged before she'd even hugged her own parents. Lee, a noted sports fan, was one of many familiar faces in the crowd at Roland-Garros on Saturday. Gauff also earned some praise from actor Matthew McConaughey, who congratulated Gauff for her "2nd major and 1st on clay." In a South Florida crossover, the Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat took the time to honor Gauff for her win. Gauff, who was born in Atlanta, grew up in Delray Beach, Florida, and has strong South Florida roots. Perhaps most unexpectedly, the Merriam-Webster dictionary also praised Gauff, alongside a video of the tennis star explaining the definition of the word "love." Advertisement "Congratulations to Coco Gauff for winning her first French Open title! We really LOVE this," the account wrote.
