Gauff eases into third round of Wimbledon draw

Coco Gauff continues to enjoy the ride at Wimbledon, especially after an easy victory to reach the third round, while Naomi Osaka will have to wait another year after her return to the Grand Slam event resulted in a quick exit.

On Wednesday, Gauff beat qualifier Anca Todoni 6-2, 6-1 on No. 1 Court to advance to the third round at the All England Club.

The court is a special place for Gauff, as its where she beat Venus Williams in 2019, when Gauff made her Wimbledon debut at age 15.

This is the court where I first started here at Wimbledon. Court 1 is always a special place for me to play on, the 20-year-old Gauff said in her on-court interview.

The victory also allows Gauff, the No. 2 seed, to move another step away from last year's first-round exit.

Overall, I just learned about life a lot," the US Open champion said when asked about putting that three-set loss to Sofia Kenin behind her.I just realized that, yes, what I do I'm very passionate about, but it's not ever that serious and sometimes the world can make you feel like there's so much pressure, there's so much expectation. At the end of the day, it's a game. It's sport.
