The 15-year-old American Cori Gauff became the youngest player in the professional era to survive the Wimbledon qualifying draw. She thrashed Belgium’s Greet Minnen 6-1, 6-1 to seal her place in next week’s main draw. It looked like a seasoned grasscourt player as she claimed her a third successive straight-sets victory. “I had no expectations really,” she said. “I feel really blessed. My parents never put any limitations on my goals and told me to shoot as high as I can.”
