15 Year-Old CoCo Gauff Advances To 4th Round of Wimbledon

15-year-old Coco Gauff ranked 313th, faced Polona Hercog of Slovenia at Wimbledon’s main stadium on Friday and won! Gauff allied back to erase a pair of match points to beat Hercog 3-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5. After pulling off another upset, she says

“Right now, I’m just super-relieved that it’s over. I always knew that I could come back, no matter what the score is.”

When asked how she might spend the prize money she’s already earned of reportedly, $220,000, she replied,

“I mean, I can’t buy a car, because I can’t drive.

Other than winning another Wimbledon match, Gauff is also excited to find out if she may have been turned into a meme on social media.

“Please tell me she’s a meme. I’m so excited to go on Instagram.”

As previously reported, Gauff shocked the world after defending her role model, former No. 1 tennis star, Venus Williams, a former No. 1 tennis star. Gauff stated after her win:

“This is the first time I ever cried after winning a match. I never thought this would happen. I don’t know how to explain it. I’m literally living my dream. Not many people get to say that.”

In her next match, Gauff will head into the fourth-round on Monday against 2018 French Open champion and former No. 1 Simon-a Halep, who eliminated two-time major champ Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 6-1.
