Jessica Pegula recently reacted to her and Coco Gauff winning the women's singles titles at this year's tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati, respectively.  Pegula won her first title of the year at the Canadian Open after thrashing Liudmila Samsonova 6-1, 6-0 in the final. Gauff, on the other hand, claimed her maiden WTA 1000 title at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, triumphing, 6-3, 6-4 over Karolina Muchova in the title clash on Sunday, August 20. This was the 19-year-old's fifth career title and her third of 2023. This was the first instance since the return of the Cincinnati Open in 2004 on the WTA Tour that Americans won in both Cincinnati and Canada. Jessica Pegula reacted to the statistic on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating: "Consider it swept." Jessica Pegula had a disappointing run in Cincinnati following her triumph in Montreal. Seeded third, the American reached the Round of 16 after beating Martina Trevisan. Here, she was compreh

Coco Gauff won the biggest title of her young career at the Cincinnati Open on Sunday, beating Czech Karolina Muchova 6-3 6-4 in the final.  With the victory, the American teenager has extended her outstanding run of form on North American hard courts ahead of the U.S. Open. Gauff, seeded seventh, broke the Czech three times in the first set and confidently served out the opener to love in her first WTA 1000 final appearance. Muchova was too inconsistent on a hot day in Ohio, committing 35 unforced errors in the match and badly missing a backhand down the line to hand Gauff the break and a 3-2 second-set lead. Gauff had some trouble getting over the finish line, failing to convert three match point opportunities while serving at 5-2 thanks to some tentative groundstrokes. But she did not falter on her next chance as Muchova’s return landed wide, leaving Gauff to jump up and down in jubilation. Muchova, who was ranked 235 in the world a year ago amid injury woes, will enter into the w

Cori Gauff, 19, says her parents raised her to always respect her opponents as she reveals an interesting approach she is taking during matches.  Gauff, who made her first Grand Slam final at this year's French Open, rose to a career-high ranking of No 4 this Monday."Obviously, my parents raised me to have a lot of respect for players. But they always say when you go out on the court, it's just you and the ball and whoever you play against. So you are not really playing against the player, you are playing against the ball.  And yeah, that's kind of how I approach it," Gauff said. Gauff praised for her personality Christopher Eubanks, a fellow American tennis player, was a guest on the Tennis Channel.When asked about Gauff, Eubanks described the 18-year-old as "a very normal kid" that loves to spend some around those close to her."She just spends so much time with her friends, going to her younger brother's sporting events.  She is such a norma

Last year Coco Gauff celebrated her high school graduation in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and now she’s hitting the books again to add “French speaker” to her growing resume.  Well, maybe not ‘hitting the books’—as the American has recently said she’s been losing motivation to get through her ambitious reading list this summer. “I’ve been in a reading slump since Wimbledon, to be honest. So I’m trying to figure that out,” she smiled during a pre-tournament press conference at the Western & Southern Open. “I have a lot of books that I’ve bought, but I haven’t read them. I’m behind on my reading goal for the year, so I don’t know if I’ve just kind of given up on it… “I’ve just been focused on Duolingo lately!” The American has been learning French in what she called “a slow, very slow process”. She flexed her budding language skills in Paris, where she delighted the crowd with a few French phrases, and recently greeted fans in Montreal in both languages. “I have my longest

At just 19 years old, Coco Gauff has already made a name for herself in the world of tennis, showcasing immense talent and determination on the court.  Born to a family of athletes, Coco Gauff was destined for greatness. Her father, Corey Gauff, played basketball at Georgia State University, while her mother, Candi Gauff, was a talented track and field athlete. Their own experiences in the world of sports have provided Coco with a strong foundation of discipline, hard work, and dedication, all of which have contributed to her meteoric rise in tennis. It is the shared experiences and the unwavering support that Coco gets from her parents that keep them close as she makes sure to spend quality time with her family, especially her mother. Coco Gauff posts a snap from her brunch date with her mother Candi Gauff Coco’s parents recognized her potential from a young age and made significant sacrifices to support her dreams.

Coco Gauff, winner of the WTA Citi Open 2023, has decided to give her family a beautiful gift. The very young US tennis star would have recently given her family a new house.The new mansion, as reported by spiderinfo.com, is expected to be worth millions of dollars, and would be equipped with all amenities, including a tennis court.Gauff's family initially resided in Atlanta before moving back to Delray Beach to provide her with better training opportunities. Coco has a net worth of around $10 million. With her collaborations with the brands New Balance, Head, Barilla and Microsoft, she has already obtained a lot of money from sponsorships, which add to the already rich entry into prize money.  Coco won the Citi Open: now she is playing Montreal Gauff is the new champion of the WTA 500 in Washington.

Coco Gauff recently enlisted a new mentor in Brad Gilbert - the former coach of Andy Murray and Andre Agassi.  And her new hire proved successful immediately when she won her biggest career title in Washington last week. Gilbert has now admitted that he has been ignoring “hundreds of texts” about how people think he should help Gauff get to the next level. Gauff switched up her team a few weeks ago, bringing in Pere Riba ahead of the Eastbourne International. And they were joined by Gilbert at last week’s Mubadala Citi DC Open - who has taken on something of an assistant coach role on a trial basis.  The 61-year-old’s input seemed to have an instant effect when she lifted the Washington trophy on Sunday, with many questioning whether Gilbert had finally nailed down Gauff’s troublesome forehand. The world No 7 herself admitted that her weaker shot was often a target for her rivals. But Gilbert has now admitted that he hasn’t even touched the shot despite being inundated with messages a

American tennis sensation Coco Gauff was ready to come to the rescue to save an ill fan at the Citi Open on Friday. The 19-year-old was mid way through her quarterfinal clash against Switzerland's Belinda Bencic when a spectator in the stadium required urgent medical attention. The game was briefly halted after fans alerted nearby officials to an incident in the stands.  With both players stopping play, paramedics were able to provide assistance which saw play resumed. Following the incident, and after securing a win that saw her into the semifinals, Gauff claimed the she was ready to jump in and assist if needed, having recently completed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course.  At first I was just making sure that it wasn't something cardiac," Gauff said. "I just took a CPR class, so if they needed me to jump in I was ready. I have my certification. Coco Gauff on the fan that fell ill during her match against Bencic:  “I just took a CPR class so if they nee

Coco Gauff revealed that fans in Washington wanted to “strip her” of all of her possessions after winning the biggest title of her career. The American teenager downed Maria Sakkari to reach a new milestone - her first WTA 500 trophy. And after the victory, she was forced to turn down requests from spectators who wanted her jewellery and shoes. Gauff picked up her second title of the season and her fourth overall on Sunday as she was crowned the champion of the Mubadala Citi DC Open. The world No 7 beat last year’s champion Liudmila Samsonova and Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic in emphatic fashion en route to the final. There, she needed just 84 minutes to defeat Sakkari and lift the trophy, and she took the time to say thanks to her many fans after the win - stopping for virtually every autograph. Asked about her kind gesture after the match, the 19-year-old admitted that some supporters tried to strip her of everything while asking for some special gifts. “For me it's reall

Ahead of the Rogers Cup, Coco Gauff says she hopes not to play the Cincinnati Masters: “I lost first round Wimbledon! ” Coco Gauff has had a hectic schedule in recent months, playing three tournaments back-to-back. There is all set to be a fourth one too, with the Rogers Cup as the women’s events will begin on Wednesday.  Gauff recently won the Mubadala Citi Open women’s singles event in Washington D.C. on Sunday, defeating Maria Sakkari in the final. The American youngster is all set to also play in the women’s doubles event with billionaire tennis heiress from the United States, Jessica Pegula again at the Rogers Cup. As a result, Gauff admitted in a press conference that she might opt to skip the Cincinnati Masters should she advance to further rounds in Canada in both events. The Cincinnati Masters will begin on Saturday, August 12 this year. Why Coco Gauff Might Not Feature At the Cincinnati Masters Coco Gauff was asked about the ways in which she manages her schedule as arguabl

Jessica Pegula has slammed claims that she and Coco Gauff are no longer playing doubles together.  The American stars are in the top 10 of the rankings in both singles and doubles, but only entered the singles tournament in Washington last week. And Pegula claimed that the pair often received “c**p” for juggling both events each week. Gauff and Pegula have formed a solid doubles partnership in the last couple of years, winning five titles together and reaching two Grand Slam finals. The pair often go on double duty, also playing in the singles draws at the biggest tournaments throughout the year.  But they were noticeably absent from the doubles draw at last week’s Mubalada Citi DC Open despite entering the singles competition, where Gauff went on to lift the title while Pegula lost in the semi-final. They have already reunited in Montreal for the Canadian Open, where the 29-year-old has been forced to quash any rumours of a split. Oh no,” the world No 3 in both singles and doubles sa

“That was so important and my parents definitely pushed history on us; to know the history of the world and history of African-Americans was super important”. Coco Gauff has credited Serena Williams and Venus Williams following her round of 32 win at the San Diego Open on Wednesday. Gauff, competing for the first time since losing in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open, defeated fellow American teenager Robin Montgomery in what was her first career match against an opponent younger than herself.  The more experienced 18-year-old came out on top, winning the match 6-3, 6-3 to progress to the next round. Speaking after her win, Gauff stated that both Montgomery and herself were products of the Williams sisters' legacy. "I mean, it definitely affects the future a lot.  I think if Serena and Venus saw this today, two 18-year-olds, both African Americans, playing on the WTA 500 level, I think they'll be proud and I think both of us are products of their legacy," she sa

Gauff, the 19-year-old tennis prodigy from America, has taken the world by storm with her remarkable talent and astonishing victories. Her meteoric rise to fame began when she achieved one of the biggest upsets in Wimbledon history by defeating the legendary Venus Williams. Dubbed “Cocomania” during the tournament, she received overwhelming press coverage that took her into the limelight. However, the price of fame has not been without its challenges, as Gauff reveals in a recent interview. She says how the recent limelight has got her both fame and times of trouble. She also reveals why her family keeps constantly changing their schedules. Coco Gauff reveals she had to take the help of police Being just 19 years old, the sudden surge of fame and attention can sometimes be overwhelming for Coco Gauff. While the media has showered her with positive recognition for her outstanding performances on the court, the downsides of fame have become evident.  In a recent revelation, Gauff revea

Coco Gauff did a little dance and a twirl after ripping the cross-court backhand winner Sunday that clinched her title at the DC Open.  She had just played for 84 minutes in punishing heat and smothering humidity typical of late summer in Washington, but she looked cool as could be as she celebrated on the court, every bit a vivacious 19-year-old. Gauff had made it a point to have more fun and show more of her personality on the court this week. Whether loosening up led to her wins or her wins allowed her to relax didn’t matter — by defeating Maria Sakkari, 6-2, 6-3, the seventh-ranked Gauff claimed her first career win at a WTA 500-level tournament. It is her most prestigious title so far — she has three 250-level wins to her name — and the victory makes her the first teenager with four titles since Caroline Wozniacki in 2009. This title joins her runner-up finish at the 2022 French Open at the top of her résumé. “I think the caliber of players I have beat this week was probably the
