Tennis - US Open - Flushing Meadows, New York, United States - September 9, 2023Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka reacts during her final match against Coco Gauff of the US. REUTERSPIX: Aryna Sabalenka said she only had herself to blame for losing to Coco Gauff in Saturday's US Open final after an error-riddled performance proved her undoing.
“She was moving really well and defending really great, better than anybody else. So I always had to play like an extra ball,“ said the 25-year-old Sabalenka.“Not the whole match, but, like, there was key moments in the second set which the one I lost, I mean, the moments I lost, and those moments helped her to turn around the game,“ she added.
Sabalenka hit almost double the number of winners to Gauff but finished with 46 unforced errors -- the majority of them on her forehand.“She was moving just unbelievable today. But then the second set I start probably overthinking, and because of that I start kind of like losing my power,“ said Sabalenka.“I mean, the good news is that it’s me against me. The bad one is that I’m still having these issues playing against myself.
“That’s why I’m not super depressed right now. I’m definitely going to be. I’m definitely going for a drink tonight if I’m allowed to say that,“ she said.
