The singles tournament has been a huge hit, but the doubles tournament isn’t that far behind. Many fans love their favorite players to team up and play in the tournament. In one doubles match, the two Americans and seeds of the tournament, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, have been one of the stronger teams of the tournament. The bold youngster, Coco, fell into a moment of embarrassment during her first doubles match. This left the crowd chuckling in the middle of the match.

In the first round of the US Open, the American duo thrashed the duo of Elizabeth Mandlik and Quinn Gleason to move on to the next round.

Her partner was also surprised by the premature celebration and looked as shocked as the audience when they realized what had happened. The crowd erupted with laughter as they realized what had just happened and left the youngster red-faced.
