Gauff has won 27 matches out of 37 outings on hard court and clay, owing to which she even climbed up the WTA rankings. She even won six matches on the grass in 2019.

That said, Centre Court will see a full capacity for the men’s and women’s finals.
Speaking of playing in front of the crowd, Gauff explained her excitement, “I’m excited to go back. I know it won’t be as crowded as normal, but hopefully there are some fans in the stands. I’m just happy that right now I’m healthy and everything. Hopefully that keeps up all the way through Wimbledon.”
