Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula could help break 20-year American tennis record at the WTA Finals Riyadh
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula continue their busy seasons at the Wuhan Open, which continues the build-up to the WTA Finals Riyadh.
Pegula meets fellow American Hailey Baptiste in her opening match at the Wuhan Open, while Gauff takes on Moyuka Uchijima.
But their focus will quickly turn to the WTA Finals Riyadh, an event Gauff won in 2024, defeating Qinwen Zheng in the final to lift the season-ending trophy.
And she has already qualified for this yearโs tournament, along with two other American WTA Tour players.
Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys have also qualified for the WTA Finals Riyadh, as have Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek.
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula could help break 20-year American record at WTA Finals
Gauff, Anisimova and Keys could be joined by Pegula at the season-ending event in November, with Pegula currently fifth in the rankings.
And her presence would mean that four American women would be playing at the WTA Finals for the first time in more than 20 years.
