Coco Gauff Falls Short of Venus and Serena Williams but Creates Mammoth Feat Not Seen in 2 Decades

US Open champion Coco Gauff hit the jackpot today in Paris. Despite having a bitter pill to swallow at the Roland Garros singles against Iga Swiatek, Gauff proved that she is persistent in the sport she passionately admires. As she bags an interesting feat in the City of Love today, the fraternity remembers how she proved herself worthy to be called the true legacy-bearer of the Williams sisters.

A reliable tennis fan recently shared Coco Gauff’s latest achievement in Paris on their X platform. “Coco Gauff, 20, is the youngest player to win Grand Slam singles and doubles titles since Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2005″- mentioned the source. Gauff, who won her debut Grand Slam in the US Open last year, and had to exit in the semis against Swiatek at Roland Garros in singles, had something to celebrate in doubles. Partnering with Czech Republican WTA star, Katarina Siniakova, Gauff bagged her first Grand Slam in doubles today.

This American WTA star with her Czech partner defeated Italian duo Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani by 7-6(5), and 6-3 on Philippe Chatrier Court. Gauff’s victory marks her third entry to the Grand Slam doubles final and her first title in this segment. Previously, this American US Open champion entered the Roland Garros doubles finals in 2022 with her famous doubles partner Jessica Pegula.

However, she lost to the French WTA stars Carlone Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic by 6-2, 3-6, and 2-6. In fact, in the US Open Doubles 2021, Coco Gauff and her American doubles partner Caty McNally entered the finals. Still, they had no choice but to accept their defeat against Australia’s Samantha Stosur and China’s Zhang Shuai by 3-6, 6-3, and 3-6.
