Coco Gauff is safely through to the second round at Wimbledon 2024 after a comfortable 6-1, 6-2 victory over fellow American Caroline Dolehide on Centre Court on Monday, the opening day of The Championships. The number 2 seed will now take on Anca Todoni of Romania in round two.

Gauff downs Dolehide in Wimbledon 2024 first round

As had been anticipated, Gauff had little difficulty in navigating her first-round match against Dolehide, the current World No. 51, who she had beaten in two previous meetings. The 2023 US Open champion broke in the very first game and never looked back, losing just one game in the opening set.

Gauff won eight games in a row in the middle of the match, which also put her in total control of the second set. Out of nowhere, Dolehide broke to get on the board and then held serve, but the 20-year-old ended the contest in a little over an hour by winning the last two games.

When is Coco Gauff vs Anca Todoni?

The Atlanta native will now take on Todoni on Wednesday (1 July). The second-round matchup is first on the schedule on Court 1, and is therefore expected to begin at 8 a.m. ET / 5 a.m. PT.

19-year-old Todoni is ranked 142 in the world and is making her Grand Slam debut. The Romanian beat Olga Danilovic of Serbia in straight sets (7-5, 6-1) in the first round.

Gauff has struggled at Wimbledon since making his debut as a 15-year-old in 2019. That year, she reached the fourth round, which remains her best result at The Championships, tied with 2021. 12 months ago, she was defeated by Sofia Kenin, another American, in her first match in the tournament.
