Although tennis is renowned for being an individual sport, there are several stars who have made their names in the doubles category, like the Bryan brothers. However, unlike the Bryan brothers, other players will have several doubles partners over time. The American sensation, Coco Gauff, is one player who has found a great doubles partner and she’ll be hoping to stick with her for the foreseeable future. It is none other than her compatriot, Jessica Pegula. Over the years, Gauff and Pegula have become very close friends as they were vying for the biggest titles on the WTA Tour. Recently, the American teenage sensation showed her dedication towards her friend when she gifted her something she needed the most.
Coco Gauff’s ‘American’ gift for Jessica Pegula
The doubles stars came to the fore on the WTA Tour in the first half of the 2022 season. Gauff and Pegula are currently ranked 3 and 4, respectively, in doubles. They won the Miami Open women’s doubles and breezed past their opponents while dropping only two sets in their stint.
For doubles partners to be good, there needs to be a great mutual understanding. Recently, Pegula, the all-American girl, received an all-American gift from her doubles partner. Gauff gifted Pegula Bose headphones, which were adorend in the colors of the American flag.
