The Olympics in 2024 were ideal. It appeared as though Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula would be unbeatable the following year, when 2023 came to a close. However, Pegula is said to have withdrawn from the doubles as well after her unexpected exit from the Australian Open in January 2024. Pegula had already made hints that the Olympics in Paris might be their final doubles match because Gauff intended to concentrate on her singles by 2025. Is this the end of the story, based on the most recent tournament update?
Due to ongoing ailments, Jessica Pegula withdrew from the Italian Open after missing the Madrid and Stuttgart Opens. According to sources, this has forced Gauff to team up with 29-year-old Erin Routliffe from New Zealand in order to salvage her doubles career. Even though the All-American team hasn’t often collaborated with other teams, Gauff is committed to pursuing her doubles career for the foreseeable future.
Pegula has had trouble with her form and injuries this year, despite the breaks she received during the Miami Open and Charleston Open. She had already declared her withdrawal by the time Madrid arrived, citing an injury sustained before the competition. The World No. 5 will now continue his recuperation journey through the Italian Open; however, no other information was provided. While this is going on, Coco Gauff is pushing forward in spite of her own lack of success as a single. However, she did just win a doubles match against Taylor Townsend.
