When Iga Swiatek dominates in a tournament, she starts to give out Bagels and Breadsticks to her opponents which is known as her ‘Bakery’. She has continued to operate her bakery in the Indian Wells Masters as well. Well, just to clear up, beating the opponent 6-0 is referred to as Bagels, and Breadsticks happen when the opponent loses in a set 6-1. Apart from Swiatek, recently, Coco Gauff has also opened up a tiny bake shop in the BNP Paribas Open.

Both Gauff and Swiatek are in a fantastic run in the first half of the Sunshine Doubles. Both have a giant challenge in front of them and are ready to have a bake sale with them as well. 

Coco Gauff is trying to get “as many 6-0 sets as possible” to open her mini bakery

Swiatek managed to win her first three matches quickly without losing many games. She set up a quick bakery in every match as she managed to achieve one bagel in the first two matches and one breadstick in the third match. Like her, Gauff has finally gone a step ahead and managed to find a bakery of her own. The American youngster managed to achieve a bagel in her recent clash against Elise Mertens.

 After she won over the German player, she said, “Honestly, I think I’m trying to get as many 6-0 sets as possible because we have Iga, who has the bakery. I can have a mini one.” Gauff won her first two rounds with some difficulty as she set in the first round and went to tie-breaker in the final set of both rounds. Now, Swiatek will play Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinal, hoping to set up another shop.

Gauff will face Yue Yuan and hopes to establish another bakery against the Chinese player. While she has not managed to get overwhelming wins in the Indian Wells Masters, she has managed to attain great results in previous tournaments this year.

Coco Gauff’s own ‘Bakery Sales’ in major events in 2024

The US Open champion first found her own baking method in the ASB Classics. She won the championship with three Breadsticks and a Bagel. Following it up with the Australian Open, she managed to make two bagels and a breadstick, but her stint was ended by Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinal. Her run in the Qatar Open ended in the first round, but she saw better luck in Dubai.

In Dubai, while the American youngster saw herself ousted in the third round, she managed to open a pop-up bakery in the first round. Now, in the BNP Paribas Open, Gauff has managed to sell a bagel to one of her opponents and looks to do it more in the coming rounds. Her form is returning to the part where she was able to win the US Open. Who else will she be able to bagel?
