Gauff, World No. 2, Crashes Out Early at Wimbledon Against Yastremska
 
                
              Less than a month after her triumph at Roland-Garros, Coco Gauff was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon.
The world No. 2, who had only played one warm-up match in Berlin—losing to Xinyu Wang (6-3, 6-3)—was set to face Dayana Yastremska in her opening match at the All England Club. The Ukrainian, whose powerful game can wreak havoc when she’s in form, had recently reached the final in Nottingham and the quarterfinals in Eastbourne.
Against Gauff, Yastremska was in control, taking the first set in a tie-break (7-3) before dominating the American in the second set with three breaks. She sealed the victory 7-6, 6-1, marking her first win of the year against a top-10 player and her first-ever triumph over Gauff, having lost all three of their previous encounters.
The world No. 42 now advances in the Wimbledon draw and will face qualifier Anastasia Zakharova in the second round, who upset Victoria Azarenka.
