Chris Evert
faced criticism for her comments during the broadcast of the US Open women's
final between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.
Sabalenka
entered her second Grand Slam final of her career against Coco Gauff but
unfortunately couldn't secure the title, falling 6-2, 3-6, 2-6. In just over
two hours of play, the American had an upward trajectory to turn the match
around, much to her opponent's frustration.
Sabalenka
managed 25 winners but had 46 unforced errors, while Gauff had 13 winners and
19 unforced errors. Sabalenka's inaccuracies cost her the match and the title,
although she will still become the new world No. 1 starting Monday following
Iga Swiatek's early exit in the fourth round against Jelena Ostapenko.
Former
tennis star Chris Evert was part of the final's broadcast team as a commentator
and faced criticism from fans after she downplayed Sabalenka's errors during
the match.
Some
viewers took to Twitter to express their disapproval, with one user writing:
"Chris
Evert saying Sabalenka played 'the best she could, maybe a couple of errors,
she played a very high-quality match.'"
Following
Evert's comments, many fans shared their critical opinions, questioning the
former world No. 1's assessment during the broadcast.
“The cringe
moment was when Coco made a phone call and she says “Oh who is she speaking to?
She have a boyfriend maybe?” Like bruh get her off the tv now!”

“Maybe she was watching a
different match. Saba played well at times but her game was littered with so
many errors!”

“Chris
needs new glasses. Or perhaps someone that can interpret the match data for
her?”

“She also

broken the previous game”
