1 / 3A star is born: Cori Gauff celebrates after beating Venus WilliamsA star is born: Cori Gauff celebrates after beating Venus Williams London - Wimbledon hailed a new queen on Monday when 15-year-old Cori Gauff stunned five-time champion Venus Williams as opening day at the All England Club witnessed shock defeats for title hopefuls Naomi Osaka, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Williams had already won two of her five Wimbledon titles by the time Gauff was born in 2004, but the teenager was unfazed. On a day of seismic shocks, Japanese superstar Osaka slumped to a 7-6 , 6-2 defeat to 39th-ranked Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan who had defeated the world number two on grass in Birmingham two weeks ago.
German sixth seed Zverev, 22, lost 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 to Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely, the world number 124. Tsitsipas had reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January and the last-16 at Roland Garros as well as the fourth round at Wimbledon last year."If I won today I would not have deserved it. It should have been over in three sets," said Tsitsipas.At least, Canadian 18-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime kept 'NextGen' hopes alive by beating Canadian compatriot Vasek Pospisil 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3.
If his victory was routine, there was nothing predictable about Djokovic's decision to bring Ivanisevic into his inner sanctum over the weekend.
