On Wednesday, July 3, Gauff beat qualifier Anca Todoni, 6-2, 6-1, to advance to the third round at the All England Club.
It’s where she beat Venus Williams back in 2019 when Gauff made her Wimbledon debut at age 15.
The victory also allows Gauff, the No. 2 seed, to move another step away from last year’s first-round exit. Five years ago, Gauff beat Williams — a five-time Wimbledon champion — 6-4, 6-4 in the first round and eventually reached the last 16, all in her Grand Slam debut. “We played a really good match in the U.S. Open,” the No. 3 seed said of their 2022 semifinal that Alcaraz won at Flushing Meadows.
