18-years-old Coco Gauff played two finals at the 2022 Roland Garros, in singles and also in doubles alongside Jessica Pegula.
In the final of singles, she lost to more experienced Iga Swiatek who collected her second trophy at the Roland Garros. In doubles, on the other hand, the American duo were favourites, but Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic were heavily supported by the home crowd and so Coco Gauff received a trophy for the finalist once again.
It seemed that after losing in singles, the young American might succeed in doubles as the American duo had a rocket start to the match and won the first set 6-2 in just 33 minutes. However, in the second set, the French duo won the first four games and wanted to quickly level the scored.
Yet Gauff and Pegula got two breaks back and were serving to equalize the score in the second set. But they couldn’t do it as Garcia and Mladenovic won the last two games in the set to win it 6-3. In the third set, the French players showed their dominance and won it 6-2 to lift the doubles title in front of the home crowd at the 2022 Roland Garros.
