Jessica Pegula after beating Elina Svitolina: “She just had a baby. Everything she’s going through with her country. I told her I feel like she came back as a new person.. You can see the competitiveness. I’ve always really respected about her.” ❤️
Question marks dispelled on future of Pegula and Gauff after Washington absence
WTASaturday, 05 August 2023 at 02:30
The prolific pairing of Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff will return at the next WTA 1000 event in preparation for the US Open, as confirmed this week by Pegula.
The duo were noticeably absent from the doubles draw at this week's DC Open, with Pegula later explaining that they opted to skip Washington due to the extreme heat in the capital.
Fan-favorites confirmed for Montreal and Cincinnati
In an interview after her opening round win in Washington, World No.4 Pegula stated she and Gauff would both play in the doubles event at Montreal and Cincinnati. The duo lifted are the defending champions at the Canadian Open, therefore they feel the need to defend their ranking points.
"We are signed up to play Montreal and Cincinnati and US Open," said Pegula. "Depends. But, you know, those are 1000s, big events. I think we will probably still try and play those.
"Actually I think we won Toronto last year, so I guess we should play, defending some points. I don't think we played Cincinnati last year. I think that's when she turned her ankle. Yeah, as far as I know, we are playing. I should probably ask, though."

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
