America’s tennis star Jessica Pegula has revealed that her
partner Coco Gauff has kept her word about playing the doubles category at
Wimbledon. The third Grand Slam of the year is already underway where
players from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent at
the highest level.
In the doubles category, one pair that will start the
contest as a favourite will be Pegula and Gauff. Interestingly, the 20-year-old
changed her doubles partner despite winning the French Open in the doubles
category while teaming up with Katerina Siniakova as they defeated the Italian pair
of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3.
Pegula, who has played with Gauff in the doubles category in
the past, was recently quoted in a report where she explained that the current
world number two in the singles category kept her word.
"Luckily I think I asked her [Gauff] like before that.
I already like had it locked down,” she said. "Yeah, yeah. She did yeah.
So that's nice. But hopefully we can maybe get some momentum here [Wimbledon].
I know it's not clay but at least for the Olympics. It's nice, obviously her
getting a doubles Slam is really cool and then hopefully you know we seem to
play well the doubles. So for the Olympics, I think it'll be fun.”
It will be interesting to see how both players will play in
the ongoing mega-event where they are also playing in the singles category.
Gauff has already booked her place in the second round after beating Caroline Dolehide
in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2. She will now face Anca Todoni in the
round of 64.
On the other hand, Pegula also booked her place in the round
of 64 after beating Ashlyn Krueger in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-0. She
will now face China’s Wang Xinyu in the second round tie on Thursday.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
