the american Amanda Anisimova defeated his compatriot Coco Gauff (6-7 (4), 6-2 and 6-1) to advance to the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time in his career at just 20 years old.
Anisimova won the duel between two of the greatest promises of American tennis and who already met five years ago in the final of the US Open junior in 2017with victory also for Anisimova.
The New Jersey player came from a set down against last year’s Roland Garros finalist to reach the All England Club for the first time in this round. She now only has the US Open to go before she has reached the fourth round in the Big Four.
His best result in a Grand Slam is the 2019 semifinals at Roland Garros, a tournament in which he made the final in the junior category.
Anisimova, who ended up lying on the court crying, will seek a place in the quarterfinals against the French Harmony Tan, until the revelation moment of the tournament. The executioner of the American Serena Williams and the Spanish Sara Sorribes eliminated in less than an hour this Saturday the local sensation Katie Boulter by a double 6-1.
This is the second face-to-face between Anisimova and Tan, after meeting in the first round of Roland Garros, with victory for the American.
