As the season progressed, the pair’s next final came in Canada, where they won their second event of 2022. The victory carried historical significance, as well, as Gauff became No. 1 in the world in doubles.
Entering the US Open as the second seeds and title contenders in doubles, they were surprisingly ousted in the first round. Putting that behind them, the two found a place in the second week of the tournament on the singles side, with each advancing to the quarterfinals.
And post-New York, they continued to shine, with Gauff eventually joining Pegula in the top 10 in singles, a doubles run in San Diego and Pegula claiming the biggest title of her career in Mexico.
