In doubles, the American duo of Desirae Krawczyk and Caty McNally cruised to a straight sets victory over Magdalena Frech of Poland and Anna Bondar of Hungary. The Americans dominated, regularly ripping precise winners down the middle between their two opponents. Both players had won a previous doubles title in Charleston – McNally with Hailey Baptiste in 2021 and Krawczyk with Danielle Collins in 2023. Theirs was a last-minute fortuitous pairing, as Krawczyk’s original partner pulled out of the tournament. Another COCO storyline involved the high number of seeded players who withdrew from the event due to injury or illness, including Charleston resident Emma Navarro, Amanda Anisimova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Elise Mertens and Magda Linette. 2026 marked the first year COCO has offered equal prize money to players, committing to a $2.5 million player compensation package. The singles winner received $354,345 and the doubles champions split a pot of $117,320. To put that in perspective, last year’s singles champion earned $164,000.
