WIMBLEDON, LONDON — At least one American will be in the women’s Wimbledon quarterfinals as Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula battle it out on Centre Court.
The pair face off as the top two highest remaining seeds and a chance to reach the semifinal at the grass-court grand slam for the first time in their careers.
Pegula boasts a 5-3 lead in head-to-head competition but their previous two meetings on grass have seen them win a match each.
The 32-year-old has already seen off fellow American Iva Jovic in their Fourth of July encounter but faces a sterner test against a high-flying Gauff, whose serves have caused her opponents real problems so far.
