Aryna Sabalenka started well against Coco Gauff in the French Open final. But she then struggled with mistakes, committing 70 unforced errors and dropping serve nine times in a three-set loss.

Today, the Belarusian tennis star made a positive start and came a set away from winning it all at Roland Garros for the first time. But an hour and a half later, it was Coco Gauff who ended on the winning side after mounting an impressive comeback to beat the top seed 6-7 (5) 6-2 6-4.

Aryna Sabalenka has been subject to intense criticism after she claimed Iga Swiatek would have beaten Coco Gauff in the French Open final.
