In a recent revelation, Jessica Pegula who teams up with Coco Gauff in doubles, finds herself in a funny situation. When asked about the age difference between the two, she said there’s a bit of a “generation gap” between them. Pegula who is older than Gauff noticed the differences when they hung out more, especially during their tour.

However, their friendship revolves around good-natured teasing. Pegula admits that Gauff often makes fun of her for not being in the loop with the latest TikTok trends. Despite the differences, their bond on the court is strong, showing that age doesn’t matter when they share the same love for the game.

“Well I mean she definitely makes me feel like she is definitely Gen Z, like I can, I, I didn’t really notice it and then, as we start hanging out more, just being together more, you know on tour I’m like ok. Yeah there’s definitely a generational gap here. No friction but it’s funny you know like I don’t know she makes fun of me because I don’t know about any of the TikTok trends and stuff like that,” said Jessica Pegula in her interview.

Thus, despite the age differences, the two know how to vibe together. Even being apart from all the trends and stuff like that, Pegula keeps up with what Coco Gauff has for her.
