Coco Gauff opens Wimbledon against Tamara Korpatsch on Monday at 1:30 p.m. ET on No. 1 Court. The No. 7 player arrives at a tournament where she has won two majors but has never advanced past the fourth round.
No. 1 Court at Wimbledon
The match is listed as No. 7 Coco Gauff vs. Tamara Korpatsch, and it gives Gauff an immediate test in the first round. She is 22 years old, and the Wimbledon line on her record is the sharp part of the story: two majors elsewhere, but no run beyond the fourth round here.
will carry the match, with streaming available on DIRECTV and fuboTV. That puts the opening round within reach for viewers who want to see whether Gauff can start differently this time on grass.
Gauff's Wimbledon record
The larger issue is simple. Gauff has already proven she can win at the sport's biggest level, but Wimbledon has not matched that output yet. A first-round match against Korpatsch is the first step toward changing that pattern.
The setting adds to the stakes without changing the math. No. 1 Court, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England, and a Monday start at 1:30 p.m. ET give the match a clear place on the schedule, but the question for Gauff is still the same one her record raises at Wimbledon.
For readers tracking the draw, this is the entry point: Gauff, Korpatsch, Monday, 1:30 p.m. ET, and a chance to see whether the two-major winner can finally push past the round that has stopped her before.
