Cori Gauff: The Princess of Wimbledon 2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Watching Cori “Coco” Gauff<\/strong> stride out onto the fabled Centre Court at Wimbledon<\/a> you would be forgiven for thinking that she was made for these moments, and that moments like those are going to become commonplace in the tennis world for many years to come. But with the current age restrictions in place and the past record of players who blaze onto the scene, is there any cause for concern about the future of Cori Gauff?<\/p>\n

She undoubtedly captured the hearts and the imaginations of, not only the Centre Court crowd, but the watching millions, who marveled at her thrilling comeback win against Polona Hercog<\/strong><\/a> in Round 3 and gasped at her ability to fight fire with fire, and come out on top, against Venus Williams<\/strong> <\/a>in the first round.<\/p>\n

For the casual tennis fan, this was the arrival of someone who you would expect to see being part of the tennis sorority from this point onwards. People will be expecting to see her play now at every major WTA event and Grand Slam, reaching the world\u2019s top 10 in a matter of months and years and coming back to Wimbledon next year to try and get further than \u2018Manic Monday\u2019, where Simona Halep<\/strong> simply had too much for her on this occasion.<\/a><\/p>\n
