DOUBLE GLORY! Coco Gauff Enters Another French Open Final Following Singles Success

Today, at the French Open, we saw another historic moment, as Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula reach the doubles finals after beating another American pair, Taylor Townsend and Madison Keys. This means she has now reached both the singles and doubles finals at the French Open. 

Last year, Barbora Krejcikova won both the singles and doubles tournaments, which was not an easy feat to achieve. This year, Gauff has a golden opportunity to put her name in the history books, by winning both the singles and doubles competitions at Roland Garros. 

Coco Gauff is on the Verge of winning double titles at the French Open 2022

Before the women’s doubles semi-final match, there was some extra hype around this match, as it was an all-American affair. However, many fans wanted Gauff and Pegula to win the match, as it would give the teenager a chance to write her name in the history books. 

Safe to say, the pair of Gauff and Pegula didn’t disappoint, as they beat the other American pair of Townsend and Keys. In 1 hour and 35 minutes, the Gauff-Pegula pair earned a hard-fought victory and the final score was 6-4, 7-6.

Notably, Gauff also won yesterday’s singles semi-final match against Martina Trevisan in straight sets. Tomorrow, the American will play against world no.1 and the favorite to win this tournament, Iga Swiatek. In terms of the age difference, Gauff is just 2 years younger than the Pol. However, the Pol has already achieved many things in her career. In 2020, she won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open. Now, at 18, Gauff will try her luck to win her first Grand Slam title. Not only that, she has a very good chance of winning the doubles tournament as well. 

Venus and Serena Williams achieved this feat before, but not at the French Open 

A very few players in the history of women’s tennis have achieved this incredible feat. Former Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis won both singles and doubles titles at the Australian Open for three years in a row, from 1997 to 1999. 

Former French tennis player Mary Pierce won the French Open title in 2000, in both singles and doubles competitions. Legendary American tennis star Venus Williams achieved this feat two times at Wimbledon, and both the times she partnered with Serena Williams.

Speaking of Serena, she accomplished this rare feat 8-times in her career; 4-times at Wimbledon, 3-times at the Australian Open, and one time at the US Open. However, she never won both singles and doubles at the French Open. So, this is a great opportunity for Gauff to become the first American woman to achieve this feat.
