London: Cori Gauff, the 15-year-old 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 and claimed: "I can beat anyone." Gauff, ranked 313 in the world, defeated 2017 semi-finalist 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 make the third round since US compatriot Jennifer Capriati went all the way to the semi-finals in 1991.

"I think I can beat anyone. If I don't think I can win the match then I won't even step on the court," she said. Her confidence is justified. She has yet to drop a set at the tournament having played five matches, including three in qualifying. In her two matches in the main draw, she has been broken just once and committed a meagre 18 unforced errors.
