Coco Gauff is 2-0 so far at the Paris Olympics after adding a 6-3, 6-0 singles victory over Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic to a win a day earlier in doubles alongside Jessica Pegula. Gauff also is entered in mixed doubles with Taylor Fritz, which means there could be a lot of matches left to play at the 20-year-old American’s Summer Games debut.

Coco Gauff of United States celebrates her victory over Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia during the women’s singles tennis competition, at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Sunday, July 28, 2024, in Paris, France. Spectators hold the United States flag during the women’s singles tennis competition between Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia and Coco Gauff of United States during the women’s singles tennis competition, at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Sunday, July 28, 2024, in Paris, France.

For the record: It would take 15 victories — six in singles, five in women’s doubles and four in mixed doubles — to collect a trio of tennis gold medals. No one has managed to do that since tennis returned to the Olympics in 1988.

Next up for the reigning champion at the U.S. Open in singles and the French Open in doubles is a second-round singles match Monday against Maria Lourdes Carle of Argentina.Other winners in the Olympics singles women’s bracket Sunday included Gauff’s American teammates Pegula, Emma Navarro and Danielle Collins, Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic, Wimbledon runner-up Donna Vekic of Croatia, 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu of Canada, 2021 U.S.
