Wimbledon firsts
The men’s final at the 2019 Wimbledon received a ton of attention—rightfully so—with Novak Djokovic pulling off the stunning win over Roger Federer. It was an epic five-setter that, due to the new rule change, was decided by a tiebreak at 12-all—a first.
And before any of that excitement occurred, there was Coco Gauff. The 15-year-old American was the youngest to ever qualify for the main draw. And she wasn’t a one-and-done, either, advancing to the fourth round—while defeating Venus Williams along the way—before losing to eventual champ, Simona Halep.
