• FOR THE WEEK OF July 3 - 9, 2023 • yOuR WEEKly GuIDE TO TV ENTERTAINMENT PBS airs "A Capitol Fourth" The lawns of the All England Club have been prepped for another chapter of Wimbledon history, as one of the tournament's rising stars, Cori 'Coco' Gauff, gets set for what's expected to be a thrilling showdown. Born to parents with NCAA Division I backgrounds, the highest level for college athletes, she always had a warm push to involve herself in sports and make it a career. Gauff, at the young age of 19, has been cementing her name in the history books, putting on displays of her raw talent, re- lentless work ethic and raising the bar of expectations at every tournament. She first put herself on the map at the 2019 Wimbledon Champion- ships when she shocked the world by defeating the legendary Venus Wil- liams in the first round as a 15-year-old wild card, securing a dominant 6-4, 6-4 victory. She became the youngest player to advance to the fourth round of Wimbledon since 1991. Shortly after, she took her talents to the U.S. Open, where she once again became the youngest player to advance to the third round since 1991, later losing to Naomi Osaka. Despite the early setbacks, Gauff re- mained determined to grow and continue pushing herself. Starting off 2020 ranked at No. 67, Gauff reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, giving her three Grand Slam appearances in a row with at least a fourth-round finish. While she has still yet to accomplish the ultimate feat of winning a Grand Slam champi- onship, she's been knocking on the door consistently. Last season she recorded her best major singles finish when she reached the French Open final, losing to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek in straight sets.
