Oh my Gauff! 15yr old teen beats Williams at Wimbledon

Fifteen-year-old American qualifier Cori Gauff caused a stunning upset by defeating five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in the first round.

World number 313 Gauff beat Williams – 24 years her senior at 39 – 6-4 6-4.
Fellow American Williams had won four Grand Slam titles – including two at Wimbledon – before Gauff was born.

Speaking after her epic win Gauff said
“It’s the first time I have ever cried after winning a match,” who previously said Venus and sister Serena were her “idols”.
“I don’t know how to explain how I feel.
“I definitely had to tell myself to stay calm, I had to remind myself that the lines are the same lines, the courts are the same size and after every point I told myself ‘stay calm’.”

Asked about Gauff’s future, Williams said: “I think the sky’s the limit, it really is.
“She did everything well today. She put the ball in the court, which was much better than I did. She served well, moved well. It was a great match for her.”
