American teenager Coco Gauff is out of Wimbledon in the third round after a 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-1 loss Saturday to Amanda Anisimova on Centre Court.

Gauff, 18, was the French Open runner-up and was seeded 11th at the All England Club.

Anisimova, seeded 20th, has now reached the fourth round in three straight Grand Slam tournaments.

"It was my first time playing on Centre Court," Anisimova said. "It's the most special day of my career."

Anisimova started the match by losing the first three games. She then lost the tiebreaker despite taking a 4-1 lead.

"I think the worst thing for a tennis player is to lose 7-6 in the first set,'' Anisimova said. "I had the same experience at French Open. I think from experience it's really important to just bounce back and give everything I have.''

I don't care about tennis but i had to laugh at the ESPN article. It's a terrible thing that "American teenager Coco Gauff," who's black, lost at Wimbeldon to Amanda Anisimova, a white player. Yet no where in the article does it tell you Anisimova is also an American, born in Freehold, NJ.

Immature and irrelevant.
