<\/p>\n
Jessica Pegula has admitted that Coco Gauff often makes fun of her because she doesn\u2019t know any TikTok trends. 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
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
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
\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

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 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 \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<\/p>\n
