Coco Gauff reaches Wimbledon fourth round as the 17-year-old American hotshot eases past Kaja Juvan in straight sets to book a date with former champion Angelique Kerber
- Coco Gauff has booked her place in the fourth round of Wimbledon on Saturday
- The American teenager, 17, defeated Slovenian Kaja Juvan 6-3, 6-3 in SW19
- Gauff matches her effort of two years ago when she burst onto the scene
- The youngster takes on former champion Angelique Kerber in the next round
The 17-year-old swept past Kaja Juvan, the Slovenian world number 102, 6-3 6-3 on Centre Court.
It is hard to fathom that Gauff is still the youngest player in either singles draw, two years after her sparkling debut when she beat Venus Williams on her way to the second week.
She is bigger, faster and stronger than those heady days in 2019, but now has to handle the pressure of not being the young upstart but a genuine contender.
Having raced into a 4-0 lead, Gauff suffered a late-set wobble but hit through any nerves by serving it out with devastating power.
Juvan, who took a set off Serena Williams here two years ago, was warming to her task but Gauff saved break points in her first two service games, while crucially snaffling the one she was offered by the Slovenian.
She was trying to lose it at the end. Go Coco
