Coco Gauff‘s incredible Wimbledon run will extend into the second week. Gauff, 15 and the youngest player to make it this far at Wimbledon in 28 years, saved match points en route to a 3-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5 third-round win over Slovenian Polona Hercog on Friday.
Gauff, who is 13 years younger than Hercog, forced a third set by saving two match points and winning a 32-stroke rally on set point. She gets No. 7 Simona Halep in Monday’s round of 16.
Gauff, the youngest player in the draw, became a sensation by beating the oldest player, 39-year-old Venus Williams, in the first round in her Grand Slam main draw debut.
