Jessica Pegula sent out a three-worded message to her doubles partner and fellow American Coco Gauff as they created history. With Gauff’s win at the Cincinnati Masters tournament and Pegula’s triumph at the Canadian Open, this is the first time since 2004 that Americans have swept both Cincy and Canada titles.

“Consider it swept,” said Pegula on Twitter (now renamed as X) congratulating Gauff following her success at the Western and Southern Open at Cincinnati. The Americans have been regarded as good friends on tour, considering their frequent appearances as doubles partners on the court.

Coco Gauff beat Czech Karolina Muchova in the final of the Cincinnati Masters in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4. This victory also added the first Masters 1000 title to the 19-year-old’s set of accomplishments.

Gauff and Pegula have proved time and again that they make a doubles pair. As a team, they have five doubles titles under their belt. They also reached the finals of the 2022 Roland Garros, where they lost to all-French pair Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic.

Coco Gauff, following her win at the Cincinnati Masters finals, commented in an interview with WTA, “The Williams sisters carried the country for so long,” showing her appreciation for Williams’ siblings have done for American tennis. When asked about her and Jessica Pegula being the first Americans to win at both Cincy and Canada since 2004, Gauff cheekily said, “Not that Jess and I are the Williams sisters, but we did one thing that they didn’t do and they did a lot of things that we’ll probably never do, but that’s okay.”

While Serena Williams and Venus Williams have been the torchbearers for Women’s tennis in America for quite some time, with the American domination at both Masters 1000 events, the scales seem to be shifting. Gauff said that both she and Pegula are quite happy that they are able to hold down the fort.

Gauff also said that it is a “cool stat” to say it’s never been achieved before. While Gauff and Pegula have been proving their strengths in single’s tennis, they have also been showing audiences their proficiency in doubles as well by partnering up quite frequently and proving their partnership on court as well.
