World number one Aryna Sabalenka said she apologised to Coco Gauff for her "completely unprofessional" comments after losing French Open 2025 final. "I absolutely regret what I said...I never intended to attack her...I was super emotional and not very smart at [post-match] press conference," she said. Sabalenka had attributed French Open loss more to her mistakes than to Gauff's performance.
