As Wimbledon 2025 nears, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka have put their recent disagreements behind them, renewing their friendship ahead of the prestigious tournament. The women’s French Open final earlier this year saw Sabalenka and Gauff face off in a tight three-set match, which ultimately resulted in Gauff’s first Roland Garros title.

Sabalenka, the World No. 1 and three-time Grand Slam winner, lost to the American, ranked No. 2, by 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4. Despite the loss, Sabalenka’s post-match comments implied that mistakes on her part contributed more to the outcome than Gauff’s performance.

“I think she won the match not because she played incredible, (but) just because I made all of those mistakes, if you look from the outside, from kind of easy balls,” said the World No.1 (via USAtoday).

Following these remarks, Sabalenka publicly apologized and reached out personally to Gauff, which the American confirmed. Their reconciliation was made evident recently when they shared a lighthearted video of themselves dancing and laughing together during a practice session at the All England Club.

At a press conference, Gauff emphasized their renewed rapport.

“The olive branch was extended and accepted! We’re good, so you guys should be too.”

Both athletes are now focused and motivated to claim their first grass-court Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon.
