'I can beat anyone' says an inspired Gauff

LONDON - Cori Gauff, the 15-year-old American schoolgirl who stunned five-time champion Venus Williams in the first round, continued her Wimbledon dream debut on Wednesday when she eased into the last 32, proclaiming: "I can beat anyone."

Ranked No 313 in the world, Gauff defeated 2017 semifinalist Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia 6-3, 6-3 in the first match played entirely under the new Court One roof.

She is the youngest player to advance to the third round since compatriot Jennifer Capriati went all the way to the semifinals in 1991.
