World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka said she plans to cope with the heartbreak of not winning the 2025 French Open title by swimming, enjoying gummy bears, and sipping tequila on the Greek island of Mykonos. On Saturday, June 7, Sabalenka gave herself a strong chance of becoming champion after winning the opening set of the women’s singles final against Coco Gauff from the United States. However, she lost momentum as Gauff mounted a comeback, ultimately winning the match 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in two hours and 38 minutes pm Court Philippe-Chatrier. French Open 2025 women’s singles final Highlights Devastated by the loss, Sabalenka admitted she needs some time off to process the outcome and move on from the disappointment of missing out on her maiden Roland Garros title. “I already have a flight booked to Mykonos and alcohol, sugar. I just need couple of days to completely forget about this crazy world and this crazy — if I could swear, I would swear right now, but this crazy thing that happened today,” Sabalenka told the reporters after the match. “I think everyone understands. I’m just trying to be very polite right now, but there is no other word that could describe what just happened today on the court. “Tequila, gummy bears and swimming, being like a tourist for a couple of days,” Sabalenka added. Aryna Sabalenka falls short in Paris Back in 2023, Sabalenka had lost to Gauff in the final of the US Open. She had a chance to make amends two years later, but couldn’t have the last laugh. Sabalenka made as many as 70 unforced errors, leading to her downfall. Gauff became the first woman in tennis history to rally from a set down to win their first two major titles.
