On Friday, No. 2 Coco Gauff solidified that she will face No.19 Emma Navarro after defeating Sonay Kartal 6-4, 6-0.
Sunday’s match would give the winner a spot in the quarterfinals, which would be a first for either of them at Wimbledon .“At this point,” Gauff, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, said after the match, “it feels as if losing in the fourth or the quarterfinals feels the same, in a way, just because I do have such big aspirations.”
“I think when I played her at the beginning of the year, I wasn’t necessarily ready for that challenge,” Navarro said of Gauff, per the Associated Press. “I know I have the level inside of me that can beat a player like her. It’s maybe just a matter of doing it on a bigger stage.”Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany enjoy Wimbledon date as epic European getaway continues
