Coco Gauff suffered a shock defeat in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday, whilst there were mixed results for her US compatriots elsewhere at the third grand slam of the year. World No. 7 Gauff lost in three sets – 6-4 4-6 6-2 – to fellow American Sofia Kenin in a match which continued late into the London evening. Kenin, who won the Australian Open in 2020 and is a former world No.
4 seed, failed to convert three match points in the second set tie-break as both players dealt with windy conditions. Eventually, Pegula, who has never made it past the third round of Wimbledon, was able to eke out a tight final set and advance to the second round with a 6-2 6-7 6-3 victory. She will now face Spain’s Cristina Bucșa. Elsewhere, five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams was beaten in straight sets – 6-4 6-3 – by Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina.
