Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula to team up for first time in 2024 at Indian Wells for doubles reunion
WTAWednesday, 06 March 2024 at 16:30
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula will team up for the first time in 2024 at Indian Wells. Teenager Gauff is still open to playing doubles tournaments despite her hectic schedule, while Pegula recently turned 30 and seems to be prioritising singles events going forward.
This has thrown uncertainty into the future of this partnership. However, both of them were listed as the fifth seeds ahead of the start of the Sunshine Double, with the Olympics likely to be the last time the two take to the court together as they will be one of the favourites to win a gold medal.

They will play the wildcard pairing of Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Sofia Kenin in the first round at Indian Wells. Pegula has only played in one other tournament since suffering a shock defeat at the Australian Open, reaching the semi-final of the singles at the WTA 500 San Diego Open and losing in the final of the doubles event.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
