Jessica Pegula revealed in a light-hearted manner that there was no need for her to bribe Coco Gauff to play doubles with her at Wimbledon because the 20-year-old American was a woman of her word.
Since Pegula was injured for pretty much the entire clay season, she and Gauff didn’t get a chance to play at the French Open and keep their tradition of playing doubles together at Grand Slams. And while Pegula was injured, Gauff found a replacement and teamed up with one of the biggest doubles names, Katerina Siniakova – they ended up winning the French Open in their team debut.
For Pegula and Gauff, the disappointing thing about not playing doubles at the French Open was the fact that it would serve them as a great preparation for the Paris Olympics – the Olympic tennis event will take place on the courts of Roland Garros.
But after Gauff won the French Open with Siniakova, she got back to playing doubles with Pegula after the 30-year-old American recovered from her injury. And after playing in Berlin, the American star duo is also set to compete at Wimbledon.
Pegula asked if she had to give Gauff any money to get her away from Siniakova
