Coco Gauff entered the 2023 Wimbledon Championships as one of the top contenders in both singles and doubles.

Gauff faced her compatriot, Sofia Kenin, in the singles opening round of Wimbledon. Despite Kenin having to qualify for the main draw, she managed to defeat Gauff 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

Kenin's performance propelled her to the third round, where she faced off against Ukraine's Elina Svitolina. However, Svitolina proved to be a formidable opponent and emerged victorious in straight sets.

In doubles, Gauff teamed up with Jessica Pegula. They began their campaign with a three-set win over the Russian duo of Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Kamilla Rakhimova.

Gauff and Pegula extended their winning streak by clinching another hard-fought victory in the second round against Andrea Gamiz and Anastasia Detiuc. However, the American duo faced a formidable challenge in the third round when they went up against the German-Russian pair of Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva. Gauff and Jessica Pegula were defeated 6-3, 6-3 by their opponents.

Siegemund and Zvonareva later advanced to the quarterfinals, where they were ultimately outplayed by Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova.

Gauff is expected to compete in the upcoming Washington Open, which will take place between July 31 and August 6.
