Jessica Pegula’s Latest Win in Cancun Helps Her and Doubles Partner Coco Gauff Match Venus and Serena Williams’ Remarkable 2008 Feat

Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff looked for redemption as they stepped into the 2023 WTA Finals. The American duo also played in the 2022 Finals but couldn’t win even one match in singles or doubles. But they turned that around in the first bout of this year’s Finals. Not only did they redeem themselves from disappointment last year, but they have also equaled some records created by Serena Williams and Venus Williams.

The current record is the second Pegula equaled with one of the Williams sisters. She managed to rise up to the challenge and defeat Aryna Sabalenka in round two, which helped her match the younger Williams sister on one front.

Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff equal record with the Williams sisters

Coming into the 2023 WTA Finals, Pegula and Gauff were focused on changing the memories of the past. They needed to play to win, and boy, did they rise to the occasion! Pegula has won all three of her Singles bouts, while Gauff has won one bout with one left to be played. Their feats have helped them rise to the level of the Williams sisters in one area.

OptaAce shared a record that the current American doubles duo created, which was last achieved by Serena and Venus Williams in 2008. “8 – Jessica Pegula and Cori Gauff are now the first American duo to claim 8+ wins in a season against opponents ranked in the WTA’s top 10 since 2008, when Serena and Venus Williams claimed nine each. Dynamic.”

However, the current record is not the only one which Pegula created in the 2023 Finals. She made the list in another record, which put her at the same level as the 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams.

Pegula stands next to Serena Williams

Many people expected Aryna Sabalenka to go unbeaten in the group stages of the year’s last WTA competition. Pegula, however, ruined that fantasy by defeating the world number one in straight sets. But Pegula’s victory was not her only major accomplishment. With her victory against Sabalenka at the WTA Finals, the 29-year-old became the first American woman since Serena Williams in 2012 to have three wins over a world number one in the same year.

Now, she has won her third bout and created a record with her doubles partner, Coco Gauff. As the two are finding their groove in the last significant WTA tournament of the year, we can’t wait to see the two smash more records going ahead!
