The Roland Garros women’s final left everybody with a wild sensation; it faced the top 2 WTA ranked players in the planet, the american and world’s number 2, Coco Gauff, and the belarusian and world’s number 1, Aryna Sabalenka. A match that was destined to happen in Paris, a match that everybody was expecting, just as the men’s final was decided, by today’s top players in the category. Gauff came out on top after winning the match 2 sets to 1, but the real story came afterwards.

In the post-match press conference, Sabalenka gave quite the comments for the media to lick their whiskers. “I think she won the match not because she played incredible…just because I made all of those mistakes“, voiced the world’s number one. She later even claimed that if Iga Swiatek had beaten her in the semifinals, the polish would have gotten the better of the american. The winner of the french major had the opportunity to talk about the matter.

Coco Gauff surprised by Aryna Sabalenka

Ahead of Wimbledon, the world’s number two had the chance to give a sense of her conditions towards ‘The Championships’ and to give a take to what Sabalenka had to say. “Obviously some of the things that were said in the presser, I was a bit more surprised about,” claimed Gauff, “but I’m not someone to hold a grudge. I said to my team, ‘if she apologizes I will be fine and we’ll move on.”

Both tennis players posted a TikTok video of them dancing at Centre Court a couple of days ago, hinting that the american got just what she asked for. “She did (apologize privately), she did again when I saw her before practice”, explained the two-time major champion, “Aryna and I, I feel that we got along pretty well befor that. It wasn’t really hard to accept that apology. I understand that things weren’t translated as how she meant it to be.”

Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka look to face each other again

Both women are on great form towards Wimbledon, but Gauff hasn’t had the success she would desire in the grass courts. “My next goal is obviously to have a good result here. I’ve lost in the fourth rounds a few times so I would love to get past that stage.” Certainly, Gauff has 3 eliminations in the fourth round at Wimbledon, the farthest she has reached in the tournament.

“I would love to win this, but I’m a big believer in just conquering one step at a time“, added the american, “If I get past that stage, I will start thinking about the winning.” A rematch between them would mean that they would face wach other in the final. Everybody is yearning this to happen, not just the laureated athletes. “

Gauff’s road towards the title

  • R1 – D. Yastremska
  • R2 – A. Zakharova
  • R3 – S. Kenin (28)
  • R4 – D. Kasatkina (16)
  • QF – I. Swiatek (8)
  • SF – J. Pegula (3)
  • F – A. Sabalenka (1)

Collin Sexton trade grades: What the heck are the Jazz doing? Is there a Lakers angle to all this?

The Utah Jazz just completed a curious trade, sending high-volume scorer Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round selection to the Charlotte Hornets for the modest return of Jusuf Nurkić.This is largely confusing and could be the first step in a series of moves for the Jazz.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOr ... they could just have made a trade that makes very little sense. Guess we'll find out.Onto the grades we go!Jazz get bigger and perhaps clear opportunities for Ace BaileyLet's get one thing out of the way. Sexton is a better player than Nurkić and not by an insignificant margin. For the Jazz to send out a pick sweetener seems backward, especially when you consider Sexton's contract is just $18.9 million and expires next summer, same as Nurkić's.So this isn't even a cap-clearing move. If anything, the Jazz actually take on money, as Nurkić sits […]

Bayern de Munique abre o placar contra o Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes

O rubro-negro entrou em campo com Arrascaeta titular e defesa formada por Léo Pereira e Léo Ortiz. De La Cruz reapareceu no banco de reservas. Nos dias que antecederam o jogo, houve debate sobre a intensidade necessária contra o time alemão levou. Uma das possibilidades especuladas seria a escalação de Bruno Henrique para fazer um trio de ataque móvel com Luiz Araújo e Plata. Nesse caso, Gerson recuaria para fazer uma trinca de volantes com Pulgar e Jorginho. Porém, o camisa 27 iniciou no banco de reservas e o sistema utilizado na vitória contra o Chelsea (Inglaterra), na 2ª rodada da fase de grupos, foi mantida. No sistema defensivo, o treinador do Flamengo optou por montar uma dupla de zaga com Léo Ortiz e Léo Pereira. Danilo, que só não foi titular na estreia, a vitória contra o Espérance (Tunísia), […]
