Coco Gauff
American teenager, Coco Gauff is currently going through a purple patch like never before. In the two weeks in Italy, she has reached the semi-finals in Rome and has won two titles on the same day in Parma.
After winning the singles title earlier, Gauff alongwith partner Caty McNally won the doubles crown in Parma too. The American duo defeated second seed pairing of Andreja Klepac and Darija Jurak in straight sets 6-3,6-2. She became the youngest player to complete the singles/doubles sweep in nearly 17 years.
After the match, a thrilled Gauff shared her excitement in the trophy presentation ceremony and thanked her partner for helping her keep calm. She said: “Just want to say thank you to Caty for playing with me and keeping me level on court. I know I freak out a lot and she’s there to say that it’s okay, so thank you.”
“Two titles in one day, not bad! Thank you!,” she concluded.
‘This is the first of many,’ Gauff hopeful of winning frequently
Earlier, Coco Gauff defeated Wang Qiang to win her maiden singles title of her career. After the victory, she thanked the crowd for supporting her the whole week and hoped that her triumph is just the first of many to come.
Gauff said: “Hopefully we[Gauff and Wang] can both keep this going all the way through the French open. Also I’d like to thank all the sponsors organizers and everyone who came out. You guys made this tournament feel at home for me so thank you. Thank you guys for coming out and supporting me all through the week, I really appreciate it.”
“I’d like to thank my team and my dad, I know I’m not always the easiest but uh you guys make it fun for me and hopefully this is the first of many.”
Gauff is currently ranked 30th in the world and will enter the Top 25 of the world next week in the latest WTA Rankings.
