US Teen Scores Major Upset at Wimbledon

VOA News

   A 15-year-old playing for the first time at Wimbledon scored a stunning
   upset against her idol and five-time champion Monday.

   Coco Gauff dropped her racket and held her head in her hands after
   beating Venus Williams 6-4, 6-4 in the first round.

   The crowd gave Gauff a standing ovation as she and Williams shook hands
   and exchanged friendly words at the net.

   "Honestly, I really don't know how to feel," she said. "This is the
   first time I ever cried after a match, or winning."
