“She’s amazing,” grinned Stephanie, a worker at Wimbledon who had recently clocked off shift and was enjoying the end-of-day atmosphere of the tournament.“It’s just crazy,” the Florida-based Gauff said. “Pretty surreal how life changes in a matter of seconds.“The most unexpected message I received — well, it wasn’t really a message. Miss Tina Knowles, Beyonce’s mom, posted me on Instagram. I was, like, screaming,” she said, explaining the impact her run here has had.
She rolled her idol and five-times champion Venus Williams in the first round and has now made Wimbledon Centre Court — one of the most hallowed patches of grass in world sport — her own. She had covered up her elaborate full-sleeve tattoo with a Wimbledon-white arm sock, and played a refreshingly thoughtful brand of tennis, but still the entire crowd — Slovenians excepted — seemed firmly behind Gauff.
What had made a difference was mere millimetres, she said. Millimetres had cost her matchpoint, victory, a different destiny.
