Coco Gauff breezes into Wimbledon third round, eases past Anca Todoni

The No. 2 seed advanced under the No. 1 Court roof in just over an hour on Wednesday, defeating the rising Romanian qualifier in straight sets.

Coco Gauff became the first woman to reach the third round of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, dismissing Anca Todoni, 6-2, 6-1.

“I do think I can be too critical because 2-1 is clean,” Gauff, ever the perfectionist, said in her post-match press conference. “I think it’s just like moments, maybe I like missed some shots that I normally would make. Also that’s tennis, you’re always going to miss some shots that you normally would make. I am trying to focus on straight sets and winning cleaner.”

Playing under the No. 1 Court roof, the No. 2 seed continued her dominant run of form with the loss of just six games in her first two matches at the All England Club, defeating the Romanian qualifier in 66 minutes.

“Obviously today I can’t be too critical. I think on the court I was getting a little bit more frustrated than normal, considering the scoreline.”

A year removed from a heartbreaking first-round loss—a loss that propelled her into a career-best stretch, culminating in a maiden major victory at the US Open—Gauff shook off the nerves in her first round against good friend and fellow American Caroline Dolehide, and set to work on Todoni, a teenager playing her first Grand Slam main draw.
