The American pair of Coco Gauff and Caty McNally got off to a poor start as the Russians broke in the very first set. However, the Americans equalized the scoreline soon at 1-1 by breaking back in the very next game.

It will be her fifth career Centre Court match, and she's still just a 17-y.o. who has yet to crack the WTA Top 20.
(She's been on No. 1 Court 3x, too.)#Wimbledon
