Coco Gauff achieves career first as she wins French Open doubles after late decision two days before tournament
Coco Gauff got over the disappointment of losing in the French Open singles semi-final by winning the doubles tournament.
Gauff lost to eventual champion Iga Swiatek in straight sets, but still had eyes on another prize.
She had made it through to the final of the women’s doubles alongside Katerina Siniakova.
Usually Gauff plays with fellow American Jessica Pegula, but her injury forced the 20-year-old to find a new partner.
Gauff and Pegula lost in the 2022 French Open doubles final, but the former has found success with a new teammate.
Her and Siniakova defeated Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani 7-6 (5) 6-3 to claim the title.
It was double disappointment for Paolini, who had lost the singles final to Swiatek on Saturday.
Gauff is now a Grand Slam champion in both singles and doubles, having claimed her maiden Slam at the US Open in 2023.
The 20-year-old is the youngest player to win Grand Slam singles and doubles titles since Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2005.
