The American doubles team of Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula have been dominant during their run, and the pair have admitted that although they will cut down on their doubles play in the future, they will still be a team.

Gauff and Pegula are the defending champions at the 2023 Canadian Open (National Bank Open) in Montreal, and spoke about their future plans during a post-match conference.

The exciting team will play the full US Open Series swing, but acknowledged their doubles success this season has given them more scheduling flexibility.

We already have had a great year, so I think that was kind of our decision not to play D.C. even though it would have been fun to play in the U.S. in Washington," Pegula said. "Going into the next two weeks, two 1000s, we would rather prioritize that just as far as our ranking and the Race to the Finals."

Furthermore, Gauff admitted that age will also play a factor in determining their schedules in the future, but hinted at a possible Olympics team-up.

"I'm sure as I get way older it won't be as much of a priority," Gauff said. "Even now we're playing less doubles, Jess and I, I think than we did last year. We're just trying to pick out our tournaments a lot better. I do see myself playing in the Slams the majority of the time in doubles. Probably not every Slam, but maybe US Open, and that Slam I think is the one that I would prefer to play as much as possible.

"I will say next year I do want to play a little bit less doubles maybe after the Olympics, but it's tough right now I feel like to just stop playing completely when you are doing well with someone who is from your same country, which you don't see that in a lot of teams."
