Coco Gauff and Venus Williams are unseeded in Paris, which means that they have been given a tough draw. The duo are placed in the bottom half of the draw, and will open their campaign against the 13th seeds, E.Perez and S.Zhang. The duo have never played with each other, which makes it a difficult task for them.

Venus Williams is widely known for her incredible doubles partnership with her sister, Serena Williams. The Williams sisters have won three Olympic Gold Medals, and share 14 Grandslam titles. However, in the past decade, Serena Williams has often focused on playing just the singles events, which means that Venus Williams has had to find new partners.

It remains to be seen as to how Coco Gauff and Venus Williams fare in Paris. Even a few wins can be considered as a good start for the duo, if they are looking for a long-term partnership.
