BERLIN — Aryna Sabalenka says she has written to Coco Gauff to apologize for the “unprofessional” comments she made following her loss to her American rival in the final of the French Open.
Speaking to Eurosport Germany, the top-ranked Sabalenka said her remarks after her loss to Gauff at Roland-Garros were a mistake. In her post-match press conference in Paris, Sabalenka had suggested that the result was more due to her own errors than to Gauff’s performance.
Sabalenka says “that was just completely unprofessional of me,” adding that she let her emotions get the better of her.
Monahan leaving PGA
CROMWELL, Conn. — The PGA Tour has a new CEO and Commissioner Jay Monahan is leaving after 10 years.
The tour has announced top NFL executive Brian Rolapp as CEO of the tour and the commercial PGA Tour Enterprises.
Monahan says he will concentrate on his board duties until leaving when his contract ends next year. The transition comes at a time when golf remains fractured by the Saudi riches that lured some key players to LIV Golf. Rolapp was chief media and business officer for the NFL and a key executive for Commissioner Roger Goodell. He has been with the NFL for 22 years.
