Coco Gauff sends Jessica Pegula very special public message after Wuhan final
Although Gauff is just 21, she has been competing on the biggest stage for the past six years – she introduced herself to the tennis world by reaching the 2019 Wimbledon round-of-16 as a 15-year-old qualifier.
At the time, Pegula had already had a couple of years of experience competing on the WTA Tour. And she quickly made herself available for Gauff for any advice or help she needed. It didn’t take long before the two started playing doubles together and also achieving big success.
Gauff to Pegula: You welcomed me with open arms… I appreciate you
โWhen I came on tour, you were one of the first people to be nice to me and welcome me with open arms. That really went a long way, so I appreciate you. Itโs great to finally play in the final against you, and I hope for many more. So, congratulations and thank you,โ the reigning French Open champion told Pegula.
