Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula were once one of the most dominant doubles teams on the WTA Tour. The American duo reached the top of the rankings in 2023, collecting five titles together. But their partnership came to an end as they shifted their focus to singles. Now, it looks like they’ve reunited—just not on the court. Instead, the World No. 3 had a bone to pick with her former doubles partner.
Jessica Pegula was caught off guard when Coco Gauff suddenly crashed her WTA Tour interview. The 2023 US Open champion had a complaint. What was it? “You never responded to my texts. This girl invited me to go to the movies. I said let me know when you wanna go and she never responded so she’s fake,” Gauff said.
Pegula couldn’t hold back her laughter at the accusation. But Gauff wasn’t done yet. She later took to Instagram, posting the video with a caption that made it clear she wasn’t letting this slide, “She texted me on Friday and it is now Sunday and still no response… smh @jpegula gonna go watch the movie by myself now.”
The all-American duo were a force to be reckoned with on the doubles circuit. They snagged 5 WTA titles, including 3 WTA 1000s. But in 2024, things got messy. Pegula battled injuries, and Gauff was mixing it up with new partners—Townsend in Madrid, Erin Routliffe in Rome, and Katerina Siniakova at the French Open. And this was good—Gauff and Siniakova went all the way, lifting the Roland Garros doubles trophy.
Despite their split, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula came back together for 1 big event—the Paris Olympics. As the top seeds, expectations were high. But they were knocked out in the second round by the Czech duo of Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova. That Olympic run turned out to be their last tournament together. After that, they made it clear they’re focusing on singles now. Amid the switchups, Gauff’s passion for tennis has stayed put.
