Coco Gauff ends Miami Open outing with women's doubles title
Coco Gauff had a disappointing singles tournament at the Miami Open as she lost to Anastasia Potapova in the third. However, the teenager fared better in the women's doubles event, where her partner was Jessica Pegula.
The pair were seeded second and won their third WTA 1000 title by beating Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend 7-6(6), 6-2 in the final. This was their second triumph of the 2023 season, having previously successfully defended their title at the Qatar Open.
Coco Gauff has won 15 out of 20 singles matches so far this season, winning the ASB Classic in Auckland. She is next scheduled to represent the United States in the qualifying round of the Billie Jean King Cup later this month, where they take on Austria at Delray Beach.
After this, she will compete at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.
