Wimbledon: 'Mentally Overwhelmed' Coco Gauff Among Many Upset Victims
- American Coco Gauff, the US second seed and recent French Open champion, was unexpectedly defeated by Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska on July 1 during her opening match at Wimbledon 2025 held at the All England Club.

- Gauff committed 29 unforced errors and nine double faults, managed only six winners, and revealed she found it difficult to cope emotionally after the match, while commending Yastremska’s impressive performance.
- Gauff said she will not dwell on the loss and plans to focus on the US Open later this year, viewing her Wimbledon exit as a chance to reset after the mental overload.
