Sabalenka extends ‘olive branch' to Gauff after French Open comments
Tennis stars Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka have publicly dispelled rumors of animosity by dancing together at Wimbledon and sharing the moment on social media.
The pair, who recently contested the French Open final, posted videos of themselves grooving on Centre Court and lip-syncing outside the All England Club.
Gauff wrote: 'the olive branch was extended and accepted! we're good so you guys should be too.'
Their public display of camaraderie follows a controversial period after Gauff defeated Sabalenka in the French Open final three weeks prior.

Nat Sciver-Brunt says big England loss will be followed by reflection, not panic
Nat Sciver-Brunt insisted England are 'not at panic stations' despite succumbing to their heaviest T20 defeat by runs after being put to the sword by India stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana. England started the summer by clean sweeping the West Indies in T20s and ODIs but Sciver-Brunt and head coach Charlotte Edwards got their first reality check following India's 97-run victory at Trent Bridge. Some sloppy mistakes in the field and a largely toothless bowling display allowed India to rack up 210 for five, powered by Mandhana's majestic 112 off 62 balls, before England were rolled for 113. The hosts lost eight of their 10 wickets to spin, with debutant Shree Charani claiming four for 12, to go 1-0 down in the five-match series but Sciver-Brunt was typically phlegmatic in her assessment. 'I won't change too much about how I go about things,' she said after suffering her first loss as permanent England captain. 'My personality is pretty steady, not too many ups and downs. 'That's the way I go about it and I'll make sure the girls know we're not at panic stations, so they've still got that confidence and belief that they can go out there and do it. 'I think everyone will self-reflect on how they did and whether they were in the right mindset with the bat or whether the plan was right with the ball and it was just the execution (was not right). 'It would be unrealistic to think we'll win every game but we'll pick ourselves back up, review really well and go again in Bristol (in Tuesday's second T20).' England lost 40 wickets to spin during last winter's 16-0 Ashes whitewash defeat and, after conceding their second highest T20 total, only Sciver-Brunt showed any resistance against India's turners. Sciver-Brunt registered 66 off 42 balls, while Em Arlott was the next highest scorer with just 12, at the outset of India's tour where the teams will play four more T20s before a three-match one-day international series. 'A lot of our girls have done some great work against spin, especially during the middle (overs),' Sciver-Brunt said. 'I expect us to be showing what skills we've learnt. 'We've got eight matches against them so you can plot your way around it and work out plans. It makes it more exciting and the challenge more fun for me to work out how you're going to do that.' Sophie Ecclestone leaked 43 runs in three overs on her return to action, having missed the Windies series with a knee injury then taken time out of domestic cricket to 'prioritise her wellbeing'. Her first and fourth balls were both slog-swept into a strong wind for six by Mandhana, captaining India in place of the injured Harmanpreet Kaur, as she conceded 19 in her first over. Ecclestone gained a measure of revenge when Mandhana miscued the slow left-armer, lofting her straight up in the air to a backtracking Sciver-Brunt in the ring, but the damage had already been done. 'I said 'welcome back',' Sciver-Brunt added. 'She's been away but she's really glad to back and we're glad to have her. 'When someone goes for 19 in their first over, you don't write them off, especially if the name is Sophie Ecclestone.'

Pulp takes swipe at Charli XCX during surprise Glastonbury performance – as they return to headline after 30 years
PULP have finally made their triumphant to Glastonbury's Pyramid stage after 30 years - after being revealed as mystery band 'Patchwork'. The Britpop icons, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, had ramped up speculation for their set by not appearing on the line-up – instead choosing to go by a mystery name for a secret set. 5 However, it had long been speculated it was actually Pulp, with piece of their equipment appearing backstage seeming to give the game away. At 6.15pm, the Pyramid stage filled with nearly 100 people dressed in black and white ponchos as the band was finally revealed. Taking a swipe at Charli XCX, who is headlining the Other Stage later tonight, a screen behind the band flashed the words "Are you ready for.... Pulp Summer." The message was a direct reference to the 'Brat Summer' Charli celebrated last year thanks to her smash-hit album. When the message appeared, the crowd parted, revealing the band led by Cocker, who broke out into Sorted for E's and Whizz and Disco 2000 from their iconic album, Different Class. "We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork," Cocker joked after the tracks. "Did you know we were going to play?" he asked, and when the crowd loudly declared "yes" he responded, "How? Psychic? Good." Throughout the set, Pulp joked that it had been '30 Years and Four Days' since they first took to the stage at Glastonbury 1995. At the time, the band were thrust on to the main stage at the last minute when The Stone Roses pulled out of their slot. The performance was just a month after they shot to the top of the charts with their seminal track Common People, cementing them as one of the biggest Britpop bands going. In 2011, the group appeared again, this time on the Park Stage as a surprise set, two years after they had reformed. Glastonbury opening ceremony branded a flop by disappointed revellers as fireworks display 'dogged by sound issues' The band originally split in 2002, with Jarvis saying shortly after that "noone was arsed" about their music anymore. They split again in 2013, before reforming in 2022. Their new album, More, was released on June 5th – just three weeks before the band appeared at Glastonbury and 24 years since their last full release. 5 5 5
