Coco Gauff Defeats Pegula to Reach Wimbledon Semifinals
Coco Gauff completed a gritty comeback to defeat fellow American Jessica Pegula in the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Tuesday, becoming the youngest player to reach the semifinals of four Grand Slam tournaments. Gauff, aged 19, won the match with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 on Centre Court.
This victory marks her fourth consecutive win in three-set matches at the tournament. Gauff noted that she had to trust her shots and acknowledged making errors in the first set.
She will face either Naomi Osaka or Karolina Muchova in her first major semifinal since winning the French Open last year. Gauff's journey at Wimbledon has been notable, as she previously struggled to find her best form on grass, despite having reached the semifinals at age 15 in her major debut in 2019.
Pegula, the fourth seed, will reflect on missed opportunities for her first Grand Slam title after her loss.
