Emma Raducanu and Coco Gauff played a solid match but the quality wasn't what many had hoped for as both players hit a plethora of errors.
Many were excited by this matchup because it featured two players that are probably going to be one of the biggest stars in the next 10 years. Gauff won and that was expected by many but the quality wasn't what many hoped. Too many unforced errors from both players as they tried to play aggressively but it ended up being quite erratic.
Writing on Twitter, Petchey said:
"I am as excited by the @CocoGauff and @EmmaRaducanu rivalry as I am big fans of both. But anyone who thought the match yesterday was what we want to tune in and watch for the next 15 years is selling smoke in terms of the actual tennis. Much better to come hopefully next time."
