Coco Gauff Crashes Out of Wimbledon in First Round, Vows to Make Changes

Posted : 02 July 2025

In a stunning turn of events at the All England Club, Coco Gauff’s Wimbledon campaign ended abruptly in the first round after a straight-sets defeat to Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska. The American second seed, and one of the title favourites following her recent French Open victory, was beaten 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 under the roof of a packed Court One.

 

The 21-year-old Gauff, who arrived in London with high expectations, appeared out of rhythm throughout the match. Her performance was marred by an abundance of unforced errors and double faults, giving the 42nd-ranked Yastremska the opening she needed. The Ukrainian seized her chance, showing composure and aggression to claim a rare win over a world number two and secure a spot in  the second round.

 

An emotional Gauff addressed the media after the loss, holding back tears as she admitted her disappointment. She emphasized the need for change, particularly in how she prepares for the grass-court season. Coming off a physically and mentally demanding run to the Roland Garros title, Gauff acknowledged that her current approach may not be sustainable for success at Wimbledon.

 

While Gauff has previously enjoyed success on grass—famously bursting onto the scene at Wimbledon as a teenager—she has yet to translate her full potential to deep runs at the tournament. She made it clear that she does not intend to give up on grass-court tennis but recognizes that a shift in strategy is necessary.

 

Her early exit adds to a dramatic second day at the Championships, which also saw top-five seeds Jessica Pegula and Zheng Qinwen fall in their opening matches. Pegula was overpowered by Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto, losing 6-2, 6-3, while Olympic champion Zheng fell in three sets to Czech player Katerina Siniakova.

 

The surprise results have shaken up the women’s draw and served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of Grand Slam tennis, especially on grass. For Gauff, it marks a harsh setback but also a moment of reflection as she looks ahead to adapting her game for future success on the sport’s most iconic surface.
