Wimbledon 1R: Coco Gauff to take on Dayana Yastremska; Paula Badosa to lock horns with Katie Boulter
Following her triumph at the French Open, Coco Gauff will be aiming to complete the Channel Slam by winning her maiden Wimbledon title. In her pre-tournament press conference, the American explained why it was so difficult to achieve that feat and disclosed that she wasn't going to put excessive pressure on herself during her campaign.
"It is a quick turnaround. I think that's the reason why this double is so hard. You go from winning such a high tournament and having to be back to work not even a few days later. I would love to do that. Also, I'm not going to put that much pressure on myself because I've been telling my team and people around me, this is all new territory for me. I'm just going to learn as I go," Gauff said.
Gauff will be up against Dayana Yastremska in her opening match at SW19. The World No. 3 enjoys a perfect 3-0 winning record against Yastremska, having claimed a 0-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory in their most recent encounter at this year's Madrid Open.
Meanwhile, Paula Badosa will take on home favorite Katie Boulter in the first round. Their sole previous meeting took place at the 2024 French Open, where the Spaniard defeated Boulter 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.
