Wimbledon 2024: Gauff Down Kartal; Raducanu Storms Past Sakkari To Reach Fourth Round

By IANS News July 06, 2024 • 00:48 AM View: 213
The World No: American second seed Coco Gauff eased past British qualifier Sonay Kartal 6-5, 6-0 on a packed No.1 Court while former US Open winner and wild card Emma Raducanu maintained her chances by stunning ninth seed Maria Sakkari in straight sets to reach the fourth round of women's singles at the Wimbledon here on Friday.

The World No. 298 Kartal had walked out confidently onto the court on Friday, as only the second British woman in the Open Era to reach the third after coming through Qualifying. He might have been hoping to emulate Gauff, who had at this same court caused a sensation as a 15-year-old in 2019 when she stunned five-time champion Venus Williams.

But Kartal's journey ended in just over an hour as Gauff raced past her, losing only four games in all.
