NEW DELHI: American Coco Gauff, under the roof of Wimbledon’s Court One, secured a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni on Wednesday, despite not performing at her best.
The one-hour-six-minute match saw Gauff, ranked significantly higher, controlling the game against Todoni, who is ranked 140 places below her.
US Open champion Gauff fell twice on the slick court and frequently muttered to herself during the match. Although Gauff is popular at Wimbledon, having reached the fourth round as a 15-year-old five years ago, she produced 16 unforced errors and landed only 43% of her first serves.
Todoni, who is 19 and six months younger than Gauff, had a nervous performance. She accumulated 23 unforced errors and struggled to establish her range against Gauff.
The match ended with Gauff securing victory through a drop shot that Todoni could only send wide. The American wrapped things up efficiently despite the challenges.
