WASHINGTON — The surging American teens in women’s tennis now have a trophy to show for their breakout summer, after two of them, Coco Gauff and Caty McNally, claimed the doubles title at the Citi Open on Saturday.
Gauff, 15, and McNally, 17, dominated the fourth-seeded team of Maria Sanchez and Fanny Stollar, 6-2, 6-2, to claim the first WTA title for each in front of a capacity crowd on the tournament’s second court.
“For me, and I think for both of us, it means a lot,” said Gauff, whose given name is Cori.
