Gauff has a chance to reach her first Wimbledon

Coco Gauff is no stranger to making the fourth round at Wimbledon. She went that far as a 15-year-old newcomer playing in her first Grand Slam tournament in 2019, and then again on her next appearance in 2021.

Sheā€™s never been to the quarterfinals at the All England Club, though, and will get a third crack at it after beating British qualifier Sonay Kartal 6-4, 6-0 in the third round on Friday.

But for someone who played in two Grand Slam finals before turning 20 ā€” winning one of them, at last yearā€™s U.S. Open ā€” just getting to the quarterfinals, even at Wimbledon, isnā€™t much of a goal.

ā€œI feel like at this point, it feels as if losing in the fourth (round) or the quarterfinals feels the same in a way, just because I do have such big aspirations,ā€ said Gauff, who also reached the semifinals at both the Australian Open and French Open this year. ā€œI feel like it sucks to say this, but once you win, you kind of take it for granted. I try not to, obviously. When you make a lot of quarterfinals in Slams, in general it just makes you want to make it to a semifinal. You make a couple semifinals, you want to make the final.ā€
