"She has a really good head on her shoulders": Pegula credits Gauff for good balance on and off court

Similar to how Coco Gauff had very kind words for Pegula so did the older American have plenty of kind words for her doubles partner.

Both of them are still in the Indian Wells singles draw and they're also in the doubles draw of the event. Both are top 10 ranked singles players while also being one of the best doubles pairings in the world and it comes from a very good relationship they have on and off the court. After her most recent match in Indian Wells, Pegula praised Gauff:

"I think she has a really good head on her shoulders. It's definitely not life or death with her for tennis. I think she has a good balance of everything else with her family off the court. She likes to have fun with everything she does off the court. But I think she's definitely really close with her family, which I think keeps her very grounded and with her siblings and stuff like that."

She added:

"You know, then she's kind of the star on the court. So it's cool to see how she's balanced it a lot at such a young age. I would say probably credit to her parents for helping her with that."

And more:

"Yeah, she's just a fun personality, and she's got such a long, long career ahead of her. Just to see what she's done at such a young age is pretty crazy."
