The American sensation, Coco Gauff, is one player who has found a great doubles partner and she’ll be hoping to stick with her for the foreseeable future. It is none other than her compatriot, Jessica Pegula. Over the years, Gauff and Pegula have become very close friends as they were vying for the biggest titles on the WTA Tour. Recently, the American teenage sensation showed her dedication towards her friend when she gifted her something she needed the most.

The doubles stars came to the fore on the WTA Tour in the first half of the 2022 season. Gauff and Pegula are currently ranked 3 and 4, respectively, in doubles. They won the Miami Open women’s doubles and breezed past their opponents while dropping only two sets in their stint.
