Americans Gauff, Pegula, Navarro hoping for more
For three of the WTA’s four Americans currently in the Top 10—Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Emma Navarro—the Doha-Dubai swing was frustrating: Gauff went 0-2, Navarro 1-2, and Pegula 3-2.
Said Gauff in Dubai, “Being on tour, being a pro on tour, I had to learn to accept, trust the process, trust that when you’re in the middle of working on things, you’re not going to win all the time. Yeah, that’s the hard part of just, like, losing matches when you’re trying to work with something because, yeah, you just have that trust that in the long run those losses will turn into wins. For the most part it has worked for me.”
Now that they’re back competing in North America, perhaps each will find better form.
