Teen Tennis Star Gauff and Sabalenka Share Dance Video on TikTok and Instagram
Chillin' at Wimbledon: Coco and Sabalenka Squash Beef!
Shake off those doubts, folks, because Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka have put an end to any lingering tension between them. At Wimbledon on Friday, the tennis stars showed the world that they're all good by dancing up a storm on Centre Court.
Sabalenka took to her Instagram to share a video of the pair dancing to C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)."
"TikTok dances always have a way of bringing people together," she captioned the clip. Gauff returned the favor by sharing a video of them outside the All England Club's main stadium, lip-syncing to a catchy tune.
"OK, guys, we're back. Did you miss us? Because we missed you," read the caption on Gauff's post. "Olive branch extended and accepted! We're good, so you should be too," Gauff added.
Before Wimbledon 2025 kicked off on Monday, Gauff and Sabalenka had a practice session together on Centre Court. This marked a significant turn in their relationship, following their intense three-set battle at the French Open.
Remember, three weeks ago, Gauff edged out Sabalenka in the championship match at the French Open, taking the title 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. Afterward, Sabalenka drew some criticism for her comment that Gauff "won the match not because she played incredible; just because I made all those errors with... easy balls."
Later, Sabalenka acknowledged that her comments were unprofessional and even wrote to Gauff to apologize.
At 27, Sabalenka is a three-time Grand Slam champion and has been runner-up twice when Gauff, a 21-year-old American, took home a major title, like the 2023 US Open.
If they meet at Wimbledon this year, it'll be in the final on July 12.
