American doubles partners Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula began their Berlin Open doubles campaign on June 16, 2026, taking on the pairing of Anna Potapova and Diana Shnaider in the first round.
Gauff and Pegula have established themselves as one of the more formidable doubles combinations on the WTA tour, combining Gauff’s returning and court coverage with Pegula’s consistency at the net and in baseline exchanges.
Potapova and Shnaider, both younger players building their records across singles and doubles, represented a competitive opening test on a surface that favors big serves and quick net approaches.
The Berlin Open’s doubles draw has attracted strong entries in the lead-up to Wimbledon, with many players using the tournament to sharpen grass-court habits and build chemistry with partners ahead of the Grand Slam.
