"Being No. 1 is pretty cool. I have no words," Gauff said. "Honestly, as a kid, I didn't even know there were separate rankings for singles and doubles. So as a kid, no. But when I got on tour and realized I could do well in doubles, yes. I didn't put pressure on myself to do it, but I wanted to. Who wouldn't want to be No. 1 in anything? But yeah, I would say when I got on tour and started doing well in doubles and my ranking started going up, I realized that No. 1 was possible. Had Gauff and Pegula lost the summit clash in Montreal, China's Zhang Shuai (currently second) would have sealed the No. 1 ranking.
