The second racket of the world, following Swiatek, leaves Wimbledon

Emma Navarro and Cori Gauff faced off in a decisive match to determine the quarterfinalist of Wimbledon 2024. The match ended quite unexpectedly: the world's second-ranked player suffered a defeat and exited the tournament.

The contest was challenging for Gauff. Coming into this match, she had shown confident play in previous rounds in London and was considered a clear favorite. In the first set, Cori lost a crucial game on her serve at 4-5 in favor of her opponent. The second set turned out to be smoother for Navarro. She secured victory with just one break.
