Aryna Sabalenka says she has written to Coco Gauff to apologize for the “unprofessional” comments she made following her loss to her American rival in the final of the French Open.

I never intended to attack her,” the Belarusian tennis star said about her remarks after the French Open women’s final.

Sabalenka had bemoaned her 'terrible' play after the Roland Garros final, saying that Gauff kept hitting shots off the frame of her racket.
