This year’s US Open promises a glittering stage, particularly in doubles, where the mixed draw has already stirred excitement and driven players to sharpen their games ahead of the August 19 Fan Week kickoff. Amid this buzz, Coco Gauff is carving her own path, determined to rebuild her rhythm after Wimbledon’s sting. Now stationed in Montreal, she’s embracing the grind, ready to fine-tune her doubles prowess as the Masters 1000 event sets the tone for New York. And in a move that adds intrigue to the build-up, she has just revealed her potential doubles partner, leaving fans eager to see what unfolds. Wondering who that doubles partner is?
At the pre-tournament press conference at the National Bank Open, Coco Gauff fielded questions that reached beyond her own campaign, touching on Canada’s rising star Victoria Mboko. “She’s a super great player and a very nice person. And I’ve talked to her a little bit since then, and you know,” Coco said warmly. Reflecting on the possibility of teaming up with Mboko, she admitted, “I was thinking I was like ‘oh I should have asked her to play doubles here’ but I wasn’t thinking in the top of my head so hopefully one of these days I’ll get to play with her.”
Still, Gauff’s doubles focus for Montreal remained clear. “But I’m playing with another great young person Alex Eala uh, if we get in,” she added, revealing her current plan while leaving the door open for future partnerships.
