Aryna Sabalenka Facing Backlash for Coco Gauff Message After French Open Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Women's tennis World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka caught the ire of several fans after sharing her take on her loss to Coco Gauff at the French Open final.

Coco Gauff continued a spectacular season for American women at the Grand Slams when she battled from a set down to topple world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a lacklustre French Open final for a maiden Roland Garros crown on Saturday.

For most of the contest, Aryna Sabalenka sulked, pouted, and yelled at her coach from the court as Coco Gauff stoically and calmly outplayed the world's top-ranked women's player. "It feels great," Gauff told fellow American tennis player Sloane Stephens.
