Sabalenka is slated to open her Wimbledon campaign against Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine, while Gauff begins her chalenge for the SW19 crown against Dayana Yastremska.
The No. 1-ranked Sabalenka and the No. 2-ranked Gauff held a practice session together at Centre Court ahead of the year's third Grand Slam tournament, which begins on Monday.
Three weeks ago, Gauff got the better of Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in the championship match at the last major, the French Open.
Following the win, Sabalenka faced criticism for stating that Gauff won the match not because she played incredibly, but because I made all of those mistakes with easy balls. Later, however, Sabalenka described her comments as unprofessional and said she had written to Gauff to apologise.
The 27-year-old Belarussian, Sabalenka, is a three-time Grand Slam champion and was the runner-up both times Gauff, a 21-year-old American, won a major trophy, including at the 2023 U.S. Open. At Wimbledon this year, they could only meet each other in the final on July 12.
