Coco Gauff's Olympics campaign ended in disappointment as she was eliminated from both women's doubles and mixed doubles competitions at the Paris Games on Wednesday, just a day after a tearful exit from the singles event.

Gauff and her U.S. women's doubles partner, Jessica Pegula, the top seeds, were upset in the second round by Czech players Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova. Later, Gauff and Taylor Fritz lost in mixed doubles to Canada's Gabby Dabrowski and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The American tennis star, who had high hopes for her Olympic debut, saw her dreams of winning multiple medals dashed. This Olympics was a chance at redemption for Gauff after she was forced to withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics due to a positive COVID-19 test.
