Behind the scenes at Wimbledon: Food and drink at SW19

Cori Gauff continues her remarkable Wimbledon campaign today having beaten both Venus Williams and Magdalena Rybarikova to reach the third round of the Championships.

The 15-year-old American defied all expectations to breeze past Williams – a five-time Wimbledon champion – in straight sets before subjecting Rybarikova to the same fate.

Gauff admitted she’s been surprised by her sudden rise to stardom. “I wasn’t expecting any of this,” she said. “A lot of celebrities were messaging, posting me. I’m kind of starstruck. It’s been hard to reset. I don’t know.

“The last three days have definitely just kind of been surprising. It just shows if you really work hard, you can get where you want to go.”

“Last week around this time, I didn’t know I was coming here. It just shows you have to be ready for everything.”

Who does she play in the next round?

Gauff takes on world No 60 Polona Hercog in round three after the Slovenian beat 17th seed Madison Keys.

What court will she be on?

Gauff vs Hercog is the third and final match to be played on Centre Court.

When will it be played?

Kevin Anderson gets proceedings under way at 1pm when he takes on Guido Pella. Simona Halep follows with her match against Victoria Azarenka. As such, Gauff could realistically take to court at any time around 4pm onward.
