Wimbledon results 2024: Coco Gauff storms past qualifier Anca Todoni to reach third round
Coco Gauff stormed past Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni to move into the third round of Wimbledon.
The second seed entertained the crowd under the roof on Court One with big hitting to earn a 6-2 6-1 victory in 66 minutes.
A second convincing win this week marks progress for the American at SW19 after a surprise exit in the first round last year.
“Overall, I just learned about life a lot. I guess you do as you get older,” the 20-year-old said.
“I realised what I do, yes I’m passionate about, but it’s not that serious and sometimes the world can make you feel like there’s so much pressure, so much expectation.
“At the end of the day, it’s a game, it’s a sport and I’m very privileged to be playing out here.”
Todoni, 19, came into Wednesday’s match on the back of a dominant win – and her first victory in a Grand Slam – over fellow qualifier Olga Danilovic, of Serbia.
But she faced a tougher opponent in US Open winner Gauff, who is among the favourites to go the distance at Wimbledon.
After dropping serve early, Todoni couldn’t make the most of any chances to break back.
It was an uphill task from there for Todoni, who struggled to absorb Gauff’s powerful ball striking and won just three points on her opponent’s serve.
