Such a far cry from last year’s French Open: Gauff failed to make it out of qualifying, while Konta was making her way to her third Grand Slam semifinal. She also made it to the fourth round at this year’s Australian Open, beating 2019 champion Naomi Osaka en route. The lack of match play coming in.

We'll know more over the coming days but one thing is already certain: Wimbledon fans are head over heels for the player nicknamed "Coco." It was an 'A' performance from Gauff, who took a science test during her qualifying run while reaching the main draw. As she neared victory and chased another drop shot, another fan encouraged her to "run, run, run."

Cori Gauff shakes hands at the net with Venus Williams after winning her Ladies' Singles first round match during Day 1 of The Championships - Wimbledon 2019 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 1, 2019, in London. (CNN) - She wasn't even born by the time Venus Williams had won four grand slams, but 15-year-old American Cori Gauff downed the five-time Wimbledon champion on her debut in the tournament Monday. "I don''t really know how to feel, this is the first time I've cried after a match, after winning," Gauff told the BBC. Gauff is the 12th youngest overall to play in the Wimbledon main draw, but the youngest to come through qualifying. This year, she became the youngest woman to win a Grand Slam qualifying match in the French Open.

As for a win over the veteran champion, "I never thought this would happen," Gauff told BBC after the match . Today, as the youngest player ever to qualify for Wimbledon, Gauff is not only competing in the same tournament as her heroes she's winning. In fact, Serena is "the reason why I play tennis," the 15-year-old American phenom told BBC Sport . "After I made the main draw here, two of my teachers found out I play tennis," she said. Gauff, who will play Magdalena Rybarikova in the second round of the tournament, remained poised throughout today's match, despite the stakes.
