What do Coco Gauff and Caty McNally think about their partnership?

Their team is labeled as the ‘McCoco’. And last year they achieved several crucial results. They have already won two titles with each other. Last, in preparation for the Australian Open 2020, Gauff and McNally spoke highly about each other.

“I think our chemistry is really good and when one person is down we usually pick the other person back up. We know how to get each other going and we pretty much try to play the exact same way, so that helps a lot and we have the same goal,” McNally said.

Nevertheless, it is absolutely clear that Gauff and McNally love to dance, and at Australian Open 2020, they often celebrated their victories with dance.

“As long as we’re healthy we’ll continue to play doubles with each other. For both of us, I don’t think we look into numbers too much. If one of us gets top 10, we’ll still be playing doubles, no matter of the ranking because we just line competing and winning,” Gauff said.

Gauff’s singles career has taken a rocket start. Looking back at Australian Open 202o, Gauff beat Grand Slam champs in Venus Williams and Naomi Osaka. She lost to eventual champion Sofia Kenin in the fourth round. McNally is still finding her way in the singles circuit.
