- American teenager Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff has captured the hearts of fans with her dream run to Wimbledon’s fourth round but a stern examination awaits in the form of seventh seed Simona Halep on Monday.

Gauff did not disappoint, saving two match points to beat Polona Hercog 3-6 7-6 7-5, and similarities with compatriot Jennifer Capriati, who broke into the top 10 at the age of 14, became harder to ignore. “Then you have Coco... on a different level. She’s totally capable and ready. Not every 15-year-old is the same.”

“She seems developed, she’s moving great. It’s one of her great strengths. And her mind, which is not usually the case when you look at younger players.” Halep said she had never watched the teenager play before and had expected Hercog to go through but Gauff has already done her homework on the 2018 French Open champion.
