The 20-year-old American won her first major doubles title on Sunday by teaming with Katerina Siniakova for the French Open trophy.
Coco Gauff is a Grand Slam champion in singles and doubles, something she did not expect to happen so soon.
Victory finally came for Gauff in her third women's doubles final, having been the runner-up in championship matches at Roland Garros in 2022 and the U.S. Open in 2021. "Third time's a charm. Thank you, Katerina, for playing with me. We decided two days before the tournament to play together," Gauff said."Thank you to the fans. I know 11:30 Sunday morning is early for most people. It's early for me."
Paolini was also the runner-up in the singles final at Roland Garros to four-time champion Iga Swiatek on Saturday. Swiatek beat Gauff in the singles semifinal. Errani also owns a career Slam in doubles alongside her former partner Roberta Vinci. The Italian pair won the French Open title in 2012 — the year Errani lost the singles final.
