15-year-old Gauff reaches Wimbledon round of XNUMX

The American fended off 2 match points against Slovenia's Polona Hercog and turned the game around to a 3:6,7:6(7),7:5 victory. After 2:46 hours, the youngest participant reached the round of 2014, where Simona Halep, the XNUMX semi-finalist, is her opponent. Gauff was the youngest player since Jennifer Capriati in 1991 to reach the second week of the world's most prestigious tennis tournament. The American even made it to the semi-finals 2 years ago.

As number 313 in the world, Gauff received a wild card for qualification and now celebrated his 6th win in a row. The interest surrounding the teenager had become so great in the past few days that Gauff's game was scheduled to be the last match on Center Court. Defending champion Novak Djokovic, on the other hand, only competed in second place.

Djokovic lost a set for the first time on Friday in the third round of the tennis Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon. However, the Serb made it safely into the round of 3 against Poland's Hubert Hurkacz after 3 hours with 7:5,6:7(5),6:1,6:4. There the four-time Wimbledon winner will meet Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) or Ugo Humbert (FRA).

Djokovic is the only remaining top ten player in the top half of the grid. Last year's finalist Kevin Anderson (RSA-4) and Karen Khachanow (RUS-10) were eliminated on Friday before the Serb's appearance. Anderson had to admit defeat to Andreas Seppi's conqueror in the second round, Guido Pella from Argentina, 2:4:6,3:6,6(7), Khachanov lost to the Spaniard Roberto Bautista 4:3:6,6 (7),3:1. This means that only 6 players from the top 4 are still in the competition. In addition to the Serb, Roger Federer (SUI-10), Rafael Nadal (ESP-2) and Kei Nishikori (JPN-3) from the top ten are still there.
