No. 7 Coco Gauff needed only 54 minutes to reach the second round of Wimbledon, beating Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 6-1 on Monday in what was the American's fastest win at the grass-court major.
It was Gauff's first win on grass since she defeated Sonay Kartal in the third round of 2024 Wimbledon, and ended a four-match losing streak on the surface.
Gauff won 88% of her first-serve points, her second-highest mark at the tournament after the Kartal match (90%). The three games she dropped Monday tied her fewest at Wimbledon.
Gauff will face the winner of Solana Sierra vs. Anna Bondar in the second round; she is 2-0 against Sierra and has never faced Bondar.
