With her 15th straight victory on Thursday in Beijing over Tokyo champion Veronika Kudermetova, Coco Gauff now owns the longest women’s winning streak of the year. The two-time Olympic winner won 7-6 (5), 6-2.
Iga Swiatek previously held the record for the year’s longest women’s winning streak with 14 straight victories between May and July.
Gauff hasn’t dropped a set since August 11th, or precisely 55 days ago, when she was defeated by Jessica Pegula in the Montreal quarterfinals, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5. Since then, she has amassed 15 victories in a row, including her first WTA 1000 championship in Cincinnati and her first Grand Slam championship at the US Open. She has also advanced to the WTA 1000 quarterfinals in Beijing.
Coco Gauff expresses her gratitude to her fans in Beijing.
