Gauff and McNally have a knack for playing strong doubles together. Gauff and McNally won the U.S. Open Girls Doubles title together in just their second event as a team last September."I think for me, and I think for both of us, [winning in doubles] means a lot," Gauff admitted. "Obviously we want to do well in singles, but I think we just love competing in general, so whether it's singles or doubles, we want to win no matter what."The pair plan to play together at the U.S. Open, and hope to receive a wild card into main draw or qualifying.
