Coco Gauff and Leylah Fernandez are teaming together this week in the doubles at BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells and dispatched of fifth seeds Demi Schuurs and Nicole Melichar-Martinez 6-3, 6-2 to reach the Quarter-Finals.
But as Gauff and Fernandez discussed during their post match on court interview, it was a late decision for them to join forces in the first place.
"It's going really well, we're playing really good tennis. I think the chemistry on court is really well, we're just having fun on court," said Fernandez post match.
"I think we're both enjoying it a lot and I had a lot of fun in my singles match today and just as much fun in my doubles match. Leylah is really fun to play with, I actually asked her last minute to play," said Gauff.
"I think I asked you Saturday. The funny thing was I practiced with her two days earlier and then two days later, I asked her if she wanted to play and here we are."

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
