Coco Gauff says One of her “biggest dreams” is to win an Olympic gold medal. She also said she might push back her doubles matches with Jessica Pegula after Paris 2024.
Gauff and Pegula have five doubles titles between them, have advanced to a Grand Slam final, and have climbed to No. 1 and 2 in the doubles rankings. Gauff said they are attempting to “pick out tournaments a lot better” at the moment but they will not give up on doubles, particularly with the Olympics less than a year away.
Gauff revealed her biggest dream during a conversation and said: “One of my biggest dreams is to win a gold medal, and frankly, I think it’s one of the things that it doesn’t matter what event it’s in. A gold medal is a gold medal, where I feel like the Grand Slams is definitely way cooler to win a singles one than a doubles one.”
She further expressed her thoughts: “That’s probably my thinking, that at least through the Olympics I want to try my best to stay ranked high enough so we can qualify.”
