Sophie Dianne explores whether Belarusian tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka has a faith in God like her peer, Coco Gauff.
This year at Wimbledon it was a shock to see the world No. 2, USA’s Coco Gauff, eliminated from Wimbledon in the first round - after winning the French Open a few weeks earlier. Although this was a blow for her career, Coco has always remained positive. Ater her win at the Southern and Western Open in Cincinnati in 2023, she bravely declared her beliefs: “I’d like to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I spent a lot of nights alone crying trying to figure it out. I still have a lot to figure out, but I thank him for covering me.”
Despite Gauff’s exit, it would seem that faith has not ventured far from the famous courts.

‘I love that the Bible doesn’t pretend that grief doesn’t exist. In fact, it meets us right in the middle of it. Romans 12:15 says, “Mourn with those who mourn”—a reminder that marriage is about showing up emotionally, not retreating into yourself,’ says Salomé Criddle.
