Last year, Barbora Krejcikova became just the seventh woman ever, and the first since 2000, to win the singles and doubles titles in Paris.
Gauff and Pegula will take on French team Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, who beat Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 6-2) in the other semifinal.
It's Sabalenka's first title.
Instead, she'll set her sights on the doubles bracket.
Pegula is the last American woman standing.
Both lost in straight sets.
