“Goal was to get good for Olympics”: Coco Gauff confirms she won’t play doubles at US Open, virtually closes chapter on doubles after Paris heartbreak

Coco Gauff has opened up about her intention to virtually close the chapter on her doubles career after her heartbreak at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The American revealed her decision after her shock upset at the Canadian Open.

Gauff had maximized her chances of securing a medal at the Paris Olympics, competing in singles, mixed doubles, and women’s doubles at the prestigious event. However, the American’s efforts fell short, as she suffered an unexpected loss to eventual singles silver medalist Donna Vekic in the third round.The 20-year-old’s women’s doubles campaign with Jessica Pegula also ended in a disappointing defeat in the second round, while her mixed doubles partnership with Taylor Fritz was quashed in the quarterfinals.

Nevertheless, Coco Gauff promptly put the disappointment behind her as she kicked off her North American hardcourt swing at the Canadian Open, where she claimed a dominant 6-4, 6-4 win over Wang Yafan in her opening match. However, the World No. 2 struggled against Diana Shnaider in the third round, losing 6-4, 6-1 in just 70 minutes.The 20-year-old’s loss to Schnaider marked the end of her run at the WTA 1000 event in Toronto, as she chose not to enter the doubles draw with her usual partner Pegula.

Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula’s absence from the Cincinnati Open and US Open doubles draws was a topic of discussion in the post-match press conference. The World No. 2 confirmed that she would not compete in doubles in Cincinnati or New York, explaining that her primary goal with doubles had been to prepare for the Olympics.Gauff highlighted the difficulty of balancing singles and doubles weekly and suggested that while she might play doubles occasionally in 2025, she will no longer make it a priority.
