The air has been cleared between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. Following Sabalenka's loss to Gauff in the French Open final three weeks ago, Sabalenka raised eyebrows with her post-match comments, saying Gauff “won the match not because she played incredible; just because I made all of those mistakes from ... easy balls.”

Aryna Sabalenka ‘learnt a lot’ from reaction to losing the French Open final - The Belarusian was heavily criticised after attributing the defeat to her own mistakes rather than opponent Coco Gauff’s performance.

The top two players on the WTA tour seemed to be at the start of a heated rivalry, but it will have to be a friendly one as they buried the hatchet.
