Coco Gauff has nearly concluded her 2026 season after being eliminated during the round-robin stage of the WTA Finals, according to Tennishead.
The American star compiled a record of 49 wins across 65 matches throughout the year, including a title victory at the Cincinnati Open, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
When asked to identify her favorite performance of the season, Gauff pointed to her three-set victory over Mirra Andreeva at the US Open.
The match required a comeback after Gauff saved two match points on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Gauff admitted that the contest was not her most polished display of tennis, as she told Christian’s Court.
“Even though it was not the best tennis for me, but probably my match against Mirra in the quarters of the US Open I believe,” she stated.
She further noted that while it was not her highest level, it was arguably the hardest fought match she experienced all season.
That victory helped Gauff reach the semi-finals of the US Open, marking one of her two Grand Slam semi-final appearances this year alongside her run at Wimbledon, per Tennishead.
Other competitors at the WTA Finals also reflected on their favorite matches of the season.
Linda Noskova, who secured her first major title at Wimbledon this year, opted to highlight two different matches rather than her championship run.
Noskova cited her final in Berlin against Jessica Pegula and her match against Aryna Sabalenka at the US Open, according to Tennishead.
“I feel like this match I pulled out of my sleeve with Aryna, I was very close to winning and I definitely did not think it would go that way or it would be that close,” Noskova noted.
Noskova remains in contention at the WTA Finals and is set to face Elina Svitolina in the semi-finals for a spot in the championship match.
Gauff is scheduled to finish her year representing the United States in the Billie Jean King Cup tie against Hungary.
