American tennis sensation Coco Gauff didn’t manage to get past the fourth round at this year’s Wimbledon. The 17-year-old star was eliminated by three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber on Monday.

Gauff has been impressive so far in the tournament, dealing with her previous opponents in straight sets. But Kerber and her experience in big matches was an obstacle she couldn’t overcome.

Kerber was better in the deciding moments, getting a narrow but deserved 6-4, 6-4 win. The 33-year-old German won four out of five break points she created while Gauff managed to convert only two of her own.

Gauff, who also reached the fourth round in 2019, admitted after the match that making better decisions down the stretch is something she needs to work on.

“I just need to do better on certain points, and certain moments in the match I have to notice when the momentum changes and how to react to when it changes,” she explained.

Still, Kerber was impressed with Gauff and told the media that the Atlanta-native has a great career ahead of herself: “Coco is such a great, talented young player,” Kerber added.

Angelique Kerber is now set to face No. 19-seeded Karolina Muchova in the quarter-finals. Kerber is the only former champion left in the tournament, lifting the Wimbledon trophy back in 2018. She previously also won the US Open and Australian Open.

Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam tournament that didn’t have its 2020 edition, with the organizers deciding to cancel the tournament due to COVID-19. However, this scenario won’t repeat in 2021.

The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which is responsible for the event, confirmed plans to stage Wimbledon in 2021. According to the official statement, the tournament will take place from June 28 to July 11.

Depending on the health situation next summer, the organizers will decide whether to allow fans to attend in a full or reduced capacity or to play matches in front of empty stands.

“Staging The Championships in 2021 is our number one priority, and we are actively engaged in scenario planning in order to deliver on that priority,” said AELTC chief executive Sally Bolton.

The cancelation of the 2020 edition of Wimbledon was only the second time in history that the tournament wasn’t played. The only other time was the 1945 edition, which was canceled due to World War II.

Unlike Wimbledon, all three other Grand Slams went through with their tournaments. Australian Open was held before the coronavirus pandemic got to an alarming level, while the US Open and French Open postponed their events and played matches without audience while adhering to all health and safety protocols.
