She didn’t win because she played incredible. She won because I made all those mistakes.

A very heated tennis controversy, likely sparked by Aryna Sabalenka’s post-match comments after losing to Coco Gauff at the French Open 2025. From the partial transcript, Sabalenka said something along the lines of:

“She didn’t win because she played incredible. She won because I made all those mistakes.”

This triggered a massive online backlash accusing her of being a sore loser, unsportsmanlike, and even hateful—some crossing into misogynistic, racist, and body-shaming territory.

Aryna Sabalenka didn’t just lose to Coco Gauff today—she lost an opportunity to show grace, humility, and respect for a superior opponent. And she fumbled it.

Instead of congratulating Coco for a well-fought victory, Sabalenka decided to rewrite the match narrative as though she handed Coco the win: “She didn’t win because she played incredible. She won because I made mistakes.”

That wasn’t honesty. That was bitterness dressed up as analysis.

Let’s be clear: Coco Gauff didn’t win by accident. She didn’t win because Sabalenka tripped over her own feet. She won because she outplayed you. Mentally, physically, and tactically. Period.

The truth is, Sabalenka has a pattern. When she wins, she’s fierce. When she loses? Suddenly the conditions were off. Suddenly it’s about someone else’s lucky day. And now, in the wake of a clear defeat, she’d rather belittle a rising star than give her flowers.

It’s not just unsportsmanlike. It’s cowardly.

Because when a Black woman excels, too often her victory has to be “explained.” Dismissed. Undermined. And Sabalenka joined that long tradition today—whether she admits it or not.

The hate in her tone, the smug refusal to acknowledge Coco’s brilliance—it’s not just ugly. It’s aging her. Fast.

Maybe next time, Aryna, don’t just train your backhand. Train your character. The world’s watching. And today, it saw exactly who you are.
