Coco Gauff reveals what she’ll do if she wins the French Open doubles title this year
As well as being a top singles player Coco Gauff is also an impressive doubles player.
She regularly competes in doubles events throughout the season and though she is now out of the French Open women’s singles event, she can still claim glory as a duo alongside Kateřina Siniaková.
The World number three joined forces with the Czech player who has won seven Grand Slam doubles titles.
It is a goal of the 20-year-old’s to claim Grand Slam doubles success, but the clock may be ticking on how long she plans to pursue that dream.
How much longer does Coco Gauff plan to play doubles?
Gauff has eight doubles titles to her name, three of which came alongside Caty McNally and the other five coming with World number five Jessica Pegula.
In Rome Gauff played alongside Erin Routliffe and they reached the final where they lost to the Italian duo of Sara Errani and Saturday’s French Open finalist Jasmine Paolini.
The American now has a chance to win another doubles title alongside a new partner and she wants to maximise her time playing doubles as much as possible.
“I don’t think long,” Gauff told reporters when asked how long she wants to keep playing doubles. “I have doubles tomorrow and I have a great partner and I feel like we have a good shot to win.
“I really want to win a doubles slam because, I don’t want to say close that chapter of my career, but it’s something that once I do it, I don’t know if I will continue to chase more. I’m not saying I won’t play doubles. So I’m focused on that.”
