After becoming the most attractive player at this year’s Wimbledon by stunning five-time champion Venus Williams in the first round, American Cori “Coco” Gauff continued to back up her powerful game with ultimate poise, easing past Slovak Magdalena Rybarikova into the third round.
The former Top 20 player Rybarikova may be ranked 139th at the moment, but she turned pro when Gauff was a one-year-old baby and her best career Grand Slam result happened at the lawns of Wimbledon in 2017 when she reached the semifinals. Big stages and opponent’s grandeur can’t intimidate the world No.
