Raducanu discusses Gauff's 2019 Wimbledon run: "Big respect to her"

Emma Raducanu will face Ajla Tomljanovic in tandem alongside Coco Gauff taking in a tie with Angelique Kerber on Centre Court as two of tennis' potential future stars stake their claim for a Quarter-Final spot.

Raducanu was asked pre match about Gauff's run two years ago where she reached the same point losing to Simona Halep with comparisons of course swirling around and she gave praise to the 17-year-old American.

“I think what Coco did here two years ago was quite spectacular,” Raducanu said in her post-match press conference.

“To come out on such big courts and straightaway, straight off the bat receive all of the attention that she did following, I think she’s handled it all very, very well. So, yeah, big respect to her about that.”
