The Americans have cemented themselves as one of the best doubles pairings in the world as well as being two top singles players. And they\u2019re now setting their sights on taking an Olympic medal home at next year\u2019s games.<\/p>\n<p>Pegula and Gauff partnered up in early 2022 and enjoyed instant success when they won the Doha WTA 1000 and reached the French Open final. Since then, they have picked up two more big titles and, this year, they reached the world No 1 ranking in doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Their partnership has drawn a lot of attention, given that both women are also consistent top five singles players. There is also a sizeable 10-year age gap between them, and Pegula has now revealed that Gauff often pokes fun at her for some generational differences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s definitely Gen Z,\u201d Pegula told Forbes. \u201cI didn\u2019t really notice it and then as we started hanging out more, just being together more on tour, I\u2019m like, \u2018Okay yeah there\u2019s definitely a generational gap here.\u2019 No friction but she makes fun of me because I don\u2019t know about any of the TikTok trends and stuff like that but it\u2019s more poking fun at each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Just in <\/strong> <strong>Carlos Alcaraz already has 2024 message for Djokovic days after the season ended[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/5091575.jpg?r=1701270288222\"><\/p>\n<p>As they have worked their way up the doubles rankings, both Pegula and Gauff have also made strides in the singles. They dominated the North American hard-court summer as Gauff won the Washington Open, the Cincinnati WTA 1000 and her first Grand Slam title at the US Open.<\/p>\n<p>The only player to beat her during that stretch was Pegula, who then went on to lift the trophy at the Montreal WTA 1000. Asked about their relationship, the 29-year-old admitted that it was nice to have the bragging rights over her partner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I think it\u2019s cool that I was the only one to beat her this summer before she won the US Open,\u201d Pegula smiled. The world No 5 also shut down any suggestions that facing off as singles rivals could make things difficult on the doubles court.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>ITIA break silence on Novak Djokovic doping test &#8216;refusal&#8217; amid suspension calls[RESPONSE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Boris Becker laid out brutal requirement to take Holger Rune coaching role[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tiger Woods issues plea to tennis fans ahead of Rafael Nadal farewell tour[MESSAGE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/5091570.jpg?r=1701270288338\"><\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cWe\u2019re very friendly about it. I think we\u2019ve learned a lot from each other from playing doubles. And we have a lot of fun playing doubles, even if we have to play singles, it\u2019s not that big of a deal. We\u2019re used to it and I think most girls are used to sometimes having to play singles against your doubles partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Gauff being a teenage sensation and Pegula being a slow burner, their singles careers couldn\u2019t be more different. It took until 2021 for Pegula to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final while Gauff got to the fourth round of Wimbledon as a 15-year-old qualifier back in 2019 &#8211; her first Major tournament.<\/p>\n<p>It has meant that they have been able to learn from each other as Pegula added: \u201cI think it\u2019s more just been a really fun journey that both of us have been on at different points of our career, totally different learning curves. She\u2019s done all this so young and me being a late bloomer, it\u2019s very different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think we\u2019ve gotten to learn from each other at the same time and it\u2019s been really cool to see what she\u2019s done and we have a good relationship on and off the court. We\u2019re obviously very competitive but at the same time I think we learn a lot from each other which is nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pegula and Gauff recently announced that they would likely scale back how many doubles tournaments they played together. But the American duo won\u2019t be splitting up any time soon as they both share the same goal &#8211; winning the Paris Olympics. \u201cHopefully we can play Olympics next year, I know that\u2019s a goal that she really wanted to try and get a medal there and for me too,\u201d the 29-year-old said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/1840422\/Coco-Gauff-Jessica-Pegula-Olympic-Games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Jessica Pegula has admitted that Coco Gauff often makes fun of her because she doesn\u2019t know any TikTok trends.
