Wimbledon fans were left surprised as Coco Gauff's highly anticipated match against Dayana Yastremska faced an unexpected change of venue. Originally slated as the third and final match on Centre Court on Tuesday evening, the clash was moved to Court 1 due to unforeseen delays.
Why the Sudden Change?
The delay stemmed from Alexander Zverev and Arthur Rinderknech's first-round match, which had to be continued on Tuesday after hitting the curfew the previous night. The five-set thriller pushed back the schedule significantly, impacting subsequent matches.
Organisers faced a tough decision. Novak Djokovic and Alexandre Muller only began their Centre Court match at 7 pm, making it highly improbable that Gauff vs. Yastremska would conclude in a timely manner if it remained on the main stage. To mitigate further delays, the decision was made to relocate one of the scheduled matches.
Gauff's Wimbledon Journey
Coco Gauff, the second seed at Wimbledon, made her breakthrough at the tournament six years ago, defeating Venus Williams and reaching the fourth round. While she hasn't surpassed that achievement since, she remains a formidable contender.
“I've grown a lot. I think that moment for me was the start of believing that maybe my dreams could come true. Yeah, I mean, that still feels crazy. It still feels like a dream,” Gauff reflected, highlighting the significance of her early Wimbledon success.
