A young American women’s tennis spectacle will highlight the fourth round of Wimbledon.

On Friday, No. 2 Coco Gauff earned her spot to face No.19 Emma Navarro after defeating Sonay Kartal 6-4, 6-0. 

Sunday’s match would give the winner a spot in the quarterfinals, which would be a first for either of them at Wimbledon.
