Coco Gauff finally snapped her winless streak since Roland Garros with a big win at a WTA 1000 event! Taking down fellow American Jessica Pegula in the Wuhan Open final, the 21-year-old walked away with her spot solidified in both the rankings and the race to the WTA Finals. Fresh off a semifinal run in Beijing, this win adds another layer to her record as she hits a new milestone. Still, one stat continues to cast a shadow over her triumph.

By beating Pegula 6-4, 7-5 to capture her third WTA 1000 title, Coco achieved a remarkable milestone as the first woman in the Open Era to start her career 9-0 in hard-court finals. Her unbeaten streak on the surface echoes the dominance that tennis last witnessed from Serena Williams back in 2015.

But even as she celebrates, another stat stands out. Coco Gauff has made an unusual mark in tennis history, becoming the first player in the Open Era to record over 400 double faults in back-to-back seasons. After the Wuhan Open, she leads the 2025 WTA list with 405 — far ahead of Ekaterina Alexandrova (280) and Linda Noskova (275). Marta Kostyuk, Alycia Parks, Amanda Anisimova, Jelena Ostapenko, and Dayana Yastremska round out the top eight.

That number still looms large after her latest win. Her double faults have been the storyline since the French Open. She racked up 23 in her Montreal opener against Danielle Collins back in July. Since then, early exits followed as she tried to iron out her serve. To fix it, she turned to biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan, the same coach who helped World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka transform her serve. The partnership seems to be paying off, and the title run in Wuhan proves it.
