In a jaw-dropping display of power, precision, and composure, Coco Gauff delivered a commanding performance at the 2025 Miami Open, defeating fellow American Sofia Kenin with a rare and emphatic double bagel—6-0, 6-0. The 20-year-old rising star needed just 58 minutes to seal the win, marking the most dominant victory of her career to date and sending a strong message to the rest of the field.
This match wasn’t just about the scoreline—it was about the statement Gauff made. With aggressive groundstrokes, unrelenting consistency, and strategic court coverage, she dismantled Kenin’s game from the very first point. Kenin, a former Australian Open champion known for her gritty play and shot variety, struggled to find any rhythm, unable to match Gauff’s pace or counter her relentless pressure.
The win marks Gauff’s first-ever double bagel in her professional career—a rare feat at any level of the game, let alone in a high-stakes WTA 1000 tournament. Double bagels are particularly uncommon between top-tier players, making this result all the more impressive and symbolic of Gauff’s ascent into the upper echelon of the sport.
“I felt in the zone today,” Gauff said during her post-match interview. “Everything was clicking. I just tried to stay focused and not think about the score. Sofia’s a great player and I knew I had to bring my best.”
From the outset, Gauff imposed her game. She opened with an authoritative service hold and quickly broke Kenin’s serve with a combination of deep returns and sharp cross-court winners. Kenin, visibly frustrated, failed to adapt to Gauff’s pace and footwork. Gauff, meanwhile, remained composed, not giving away a single service game or letting up in intensity.
While Kenin showed flashes of her former Grand Slam-winning form in some rallies, Gauff’s relentless aggression and confidence proved too much. The 2023 US Open champion has been working diligently on improving her serve and forehand—traditionally considered her weaker shots—and both were firing with remarkable consistency in this match.
The victory also strengthens Gauff’s position in the WTA rankings and boosts her momentum as the clay season approaches. After a strong 2024 campaign that saw her solidify her place in the top five, Gauff seems determined to push further, eyeing more Grand Slam titles and WTA supremacy.
Tennis fans and commentators were quick to react to the result, praising Gauff’s maturity and evolution on court. Social media buzzed with reactions to the double bagel, with many calling it a career-defining moment and a clear sign that she is now a force to be reckoned with in any tournament.
As Gauff continues her Miami Open run, her stunning performance against Kenin will undoubtedly serve as a warning to future opponents: Coco Gauff is not just rising—she’s here, she’s dominant, and she’s hungry for more.
