Coco Gauff continued her impressive form this season with a dominant 6-2, 6-3 win against Mihaela Buzarnescu. The American even clocked a 124 mph serve, the fastest so far this week. Gauff is coming off the back of a maiden Grand Slam final appearance at Roland Garros.

Gauff became a global sensation after beating 5-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in 2019. She was only 15 at the time.

Gauff also thanked the crowd for their support on Centre Court. The American detailed, “I would say growing up I didn’t expect myself to be as comfortable as I am on the grass and the clay.”
