How impressed were you with Coco Gauff at the Wuhan Open?
Coco Gauff’s victory in Wuhan is made even more remarkable considering what happened to her just last week
Coco Gauff is a WTA Tour champion once more after beating Jessica Pegula in the final of the Wuhan Open.
Gauff was the third seed at the WTA 1000 event in China, where she lifted the trophy after beating fellow American Pegula 6-4, 7-5.
The world number three now has two titles for the season after winning the French Open, and 11 for her superb career so far.
Gauff was playing in just her second event since the US Open, where the 2023 champion suffered a disappointing round of 16 exit.
She bounced back by reaching the semifinals of the China Open, but has now gone one step further with the Wuhan Open title.
Coco Gauff’s success at the Wuhan Open is even more remarkable given what happened to her last week
But Gauff’s latest success is even more remarkable considering what happened to her just last weekend in Beijing.
She was eager to land another WTA final place, but her fellow American Amanda Anisimova had other ideas.
The 2025 Wimbledon and US Open runner-up thrashed the French Open champion 6-1, 6-2 in a ruthless display against her compatriot.

But rather than let that heavy loss get her down, Gauff proved her fantastic mental strength by ensuring the same situation was not repeated against Pegula, or any of her Wuhan Open opponents for that matter.
Moreover, Gauff still has serving issues, but at the same time she has managed to emerge victorious despite the problems.
She hit a huge eight double faults against Pegula, with Gauff undoubtedly set for major and consistent success should she iron out the problem in the near future.
Finally, and hugely importantly, the two-time major champion is still proving herself against top players, consistently beating them
Pegula and Jasmine Paolini were among her victims in Wuhan, with the WTA top 10 well aware of just how dangerous the world number three can really be on her day.

Gauff’s service has long been highlighted as an area for improvement, with the player herself clearly aware of the issue.
She recently appointed biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan to help, and while Gauff’s serving has improved, there is still a long way to go.

But it really is a positive sign that she can struggle while serving but still win, and still win against top players in events as major as a WTA 1000.
She will, however, likely need to continue the hard work behind the scenes if further success is to go her way at the WTA Finals, where the likes of Pegula, Anisimova, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are set to pose a real challenge.

“BREAKING NEWS: NFL icon Patrick Mahomes just delivered a powerful message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people stunned — and then he backed up his words with action. READ MORE: At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan, surrounded by billionaires, crystal chandeliers, and egos large enough to fill a stadium, Mahomes took the stage to accept a Global Impact Award — but instead of giving the polite, scripted speech everyone expected, the Chiefs quarterback spoke from the heart. He didn’t praise sponsors. He didn’t talk about fame. He didn’t thank “the usual names.” Instead, he looked out at a room filled with the world’s wealthiest — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed, you have a duty to bless others. No one should build an empire while kids don’t have a place to sleep. If you hold more than you need, then someone out there is going without.” The entire room froze. Eyewitnesses say Zuckerberg and the tech billionaires sat stiff, not clapping, not smiling — just stunned silence as Patrick’s words rang through the hall. Of course they didn’t clap. The truth rarely comforts those who benefit from the way things are. Because Mahomes wasn’t talking about envy — he was talking about responsibility, character, and humanity. And he didn’t stop at words. That same night, Patrick Mahomes announced a $10 million donation through his “15 and the Mahomies Foundation” to build youth centers, sports facilities, medical clinics, and safe housing in struggling communities across Kansas City, Tyler (Texas), and underserved neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and South. He didn’t brag. He didn’t pose. He simply acted — proving that leadership isn’t something you say… it’s something you do. Mahomes’ message was clear, timeless, and deeply human: “Greatness isn’t measured by what you earn — it’s measured by what you give.” While billionaires chase luxury, status, and applause, Patrick Mahomes reminded the world that true greatness comes from lifting others, not just yourself. In a world obsessed with wealth and power, Patrick did what he always does — stepped up when it mattered most. Patrick Mahomes didn’t just speak tonight. He made the world stop and listen.”
“🔥Just 15 minutes ago: NFL icon Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence with a fiery message defending his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes: “What he’s dealing with is a disgrace to the game — a complete betrayal of what football is supposed to represent. How can people be so harsh on a guy who gives everything he has, every single snap? Mahomes is carrying this team with heart, toughness and leadership. To me, he’s one of the greatest players to ever wear a Chiefs uniform.” 👉Read the full story now:
