Unstoppable Gauff Breezes Past Qualifier to Reach Round Three.

Coco Gauff easily defeated Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni, advancing to the third round of Wimbledon.

Second seed Coco Gauff thrilled the Court One crowd with powerful shots, securing a 6-2, 6-1 win in 66 minutes. 

Next, she'll face British qualifier Sonay Kartal, who achieved her biggest career victory against France's Clara Burel.

This strong performance is a positive turnaround for Gauff at Wimbledon after last year's unexpected first-round exit. 

Reflecting on her journey, the 20-year-old American shared, "I've learned a lot about life as I've gotten older. I've realized that while I'm passionate about what I do, it's not as serious as it sometimes feels. There's a lot of pressure and expectation, but at the end of the day, it's just a game, and I'm privileged to be playing."

Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni, 19, entered the match following her first Grand Slam win against Serbian Olga Danilovic.
