Coco Gauff has found great momentum in her singles tour, and she would want to hold on to it rightly. The American player recently won the Washington Open to claim her fourth singles title. While a bit lacking in singles, her doubles tour with Jessica Pegula has found great momentum since they joined forces in 2022. Now with expectations touching the sky, Gauff revealed an Olympic expectation she has with her partner.

One of my biggest dreams is to win a gold medal, uh, and frankly, I think one of the medal thing is like one of the things that it doesn’t matter what event is in, um, you know gold medal is a gold medal where I feel like, you know the grand slams is definitely way cooler to win a singles one than a doubles one“, she said in the Canadian Open pre-tournament press conference
