In a stunning upset that left fans reeling, No. 2 seed Coco Gauff faced an early exit at Wimbledon, falling to Ukrainian star Dayana Yastremska with a score of 7-6, 6-1.

Just days after celebrating her second Grand Slam title at the French Open, Gauff’s loss marks a dramatic turn of events, breaking her impressive streak of reaching the fourth round in seven consecutive Grand Slam tournaments.

"I think it was a great match today. I was really on fire," Yastremska exclaimed after her victory, proudly noting the flames painted on her nails to symbolize her fierce performance.

The atmosphere was electric as Yastremska reflected on the significance of playing against Gauff, saying, "Playing against Coco is something special. She’s a great player and a wonderful person."

Since capturing attention as a teenager by reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2019, Gauff has struggled to advance past that point at the prestigious tournament, even suffering another first-round loss two years ago to Sofia Kenin.

Despite this setback at Wimbledon, Gauff has shown resilience, bouncing back to clinch her first Grand Slam title at the 2023 U.S. Open. This victory kicked off her remarkable streak of reaching the fourth round at major tournaments.

Gauff continued her impressive performance in 2024, reaching the semifinals at the Australian and French Opens and making it to the quarterfinals at this year’s Australian Open before her triumphant Roland Garros win.

As the dust settles from this shocking match, fans are eager to see what Gauff will do next in her career. This story is developing, and we’ll keep our eyes peeled for the next chapter in Gauff’s promising future.
