How Can Coco Gauff Join Sofia Kenin, Serena Williams, and Jennifer Brady to Qualify for Tokyo Olympics 2021?
In the end, it was an easy but historic victory for the American as she continues her phenomenal run on the red-dirt this year with 12 wins and just 3 losses.
Immediately after the singles match, Gauff also played the doubles finals along with Caty McNally. The duo played against the number two seeds Andreja Klepac and Darija Jurak.
If the American manages to win the doubles match, she would become the first since Maria Sharapova to win both singles and doubles titles at a single tournament. The legendary Russian achieved this feat at Birmingham Open as a teenager aged just 17.
Via WTA: If Coco Gauff completes the singles/doubles title sweep in Parma, at 17 years, 70 days old she would be the youngest player to do so since Sharapova won both titles at 2004 Birmingham at 17 years, 55 days old.
Sharapova completed the sweep 92 days after Coco was born.

Gauff sweeps the doubles title and achieved an incredible feat after Maria Sharapova
In the doubles final, both Gauff and McNally look worn out in the first few games as they were down 0-3 in no time. Just when the first set was about to slip away from their hands, the American pair displayed absolute domination and won the next six games to clinch the set, 6-3.
The American duo continued their domination even in the second set as they won two break points to get a quick 4-1 lead. But, Klepac and Jurak managed to compensate one break point.
But, Gauff’s aggression proved worthwhile as they broke Klepac’s serve once again in the seventh game and served for the match. The duo won the finals in an emphatic manner 6-3,6-2.
