Sabalenka frustration post-US Open loss made public

World number one Aryna Sabalenka lost the US Open final to Coco Gauff - and this footage was leaked of her reaction after the match

Obviously she's upset, wouldn't you be? At least she didn't cuss, threaten anyone, and she was tidy and put the racket in the trash.

[knoxbrown]

She didn't do anything wrong. Didn't hurt anybody, didn't disrespect anybody.

[ausquare]

Releasing all that stress and tension. And she's very angry at herself for losing. It's an individual sports with all the burdens on oneself. She's not doing anything wrong. No need to require her to be an angel

[huntertroup]

I would have done way worst. Just shows how honorable and respectful she is. Honestly, this makes me a huge fan of her. She was able to have grace and honor for the crowd and her competitor. Later she broke a raquets and let out her frustration. That is healthy. Good for her.

McEnroe did not wait to get to locker😂😂😂 she was very polite!

[Breakthru]

Congrats on the win today. Champions won't settle for anything less than being number one. This inspires me to go after my goals no matter what. I love the emotion. Signs of a true champion

If this was Serena they would call her the scum of the earth. If Serena even flinched wrong she got ridiculed lol

[PlicanyExotic]

One, she was alone when she was smashing the racket. Two, I knew she was pissed when she told her team they were fired “jokingly” during her speech. They’re probably dusting off the résumés as we speak😂😂😂

[tomthomas]

Why is everyone freaking out. She was upset she lost. She didn't riot or fight or pull a gun. Calm down people

[corinneamany]

Sabalenka is very hard on herself, and it can affect her game. She is a fantastic player and world's number 1, now. The footage should not of been leaked as she isnt the first nor the last to of done this.

[deandrejones]

Wow....Coco makes one player want to retire after a match....and the other smashes her racquet in the locker room....interesting.

[genericperson]

Imagine if this was Serena Williams the backlash and media coverage would be insane 😕

[misc]

At least she had the decency to throw it in the trash!

[gildermaurice]

Good for her😊 this is always how a champion will react

[dayamanimahesh]

This is beyond sick! No idea why they have cameras in there. This is something very private and she acted extremely well in front of your crowd. Guy who posted this should be held responsible.

She’s matured enough to not vent out her anger in front of the crowd.

[icarter]

Hmm wonder if the comments would be different if you know what forget it

[Sandiego]

No offense but you can’t be disgusted that this was supposed to be a private moment that shouldn’t have been filmed and released and then immediately hit play on the video. That means that you aren’t too disgusted by it. Also, there was a camera crew in the corner filming from another angle. This wasn’t a private moment. Watch til the end.

[jasonrn]

she did this in the locker room and not on the court. why would someone even post this?

[ericnyamu]

Wow. She was so gentle with that racket.

[charlesalvey]

I've lost my keys before and gotten more upset than this idk what there is to see.
