Wimbledon 2023: Gauff, Osaka, Berrettini Headline First-Round Action
Coco Gauff, the rising American tennis star, will face fellow American Caroline Dolehide in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday. Gauff, now seeded No. 2, is looking to make a deep run in the tournament after reaching the semifinals or better in the last three majors. Dolehide, ranked 51st, has never won a main-draw match at Wimbledon but has a strong game suited for grass.
Naomi Osaka, the former world No. 1, will also be in action on Monday, taking on Frenchwoman Diane Parry. Osaka, who has never made grass a priority, has been working with her coach to improve her game on the surface. Parry, ranked 53rd, has good grass instincts and could pose a challenge for Osaka.
On the men's side, Italian Matteo Berrettini will face Hungarian Marton Fucsovics in a first-round clash. Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, will be looking to make a strong start to his campaign. Fucsovics, ranked 69th, has a 1-0 record against Berrettini and could provide a stern test.
