Coco Gauff is making a remarkable debut at the Paris Olympics with an impressive 2-0 record. She added a 6-3, 6-0 singles victory over Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic on Sunday to a previous doubles win alongside Jessica Pegula.

Gauff is also entered in mixed doubles with Taylor Fritz, indicating a busy schedule ahead. The 20-year-old American is eager to win across all three events on her Summer Games debut after missing the Tokyo Games due to COVID-19.

She stated, 'People in the village are asking: Oh, how many do you need to win? I'm like, I don't know. I'm in three events, and I want to win all of them.' Collecting a trio of gold medals in tennis would require 15 victories across singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, a feat not achieved since the sport returned to the Olympics in 1988.
