World No. 4 Coco Gauff spoke after her defeat to Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid, where the score was 3-6, 6-7(3).
`I`d like to thank my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for allowing me to be here and for the opportunity to play in the final,` Gauff said during the awards ceremony. `Congratulations to Aryna on a magnificent tournament. You`re always a tough opponent. Congratulations to your team as well. You always perform well, but reaching the final in what feels like the last four tournaments is truly impressive. Congratulations on all your recent success.`
